The "hot" all seasons right now seem to be:

Bridgestone Potenza 960AS Pole Postition
Yoko Advan S.4
Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season

Have not seen or heard anything on the Toyo Versado.

Wow. Only 20k! Were you driving on dirt roads?

I have an '06 TL as well with the same tires and still strong at 27k!

Do dirt roads actually makes tires wear quicker?

Tire life depends a lot on driving style, average speed, amount of stop-and-go, temperature, and whether you kept them properly inflated.

And the wheel alignment.

I just picked up a set of Versado's. I had Proxes TPT on a BMW and they were great. I bought these from a dealer that is a friend through my kid's school. He told me that the Toyos were a better value than the Michelins he also sells. He mentioned that the dry handling will not be as good as the Turanza EL42 but snow and wet roads will be better. I got 27,000 miles out of the EL42 until the belts started to separate, so Bridgestone is suspect to me now. I was told Versados have 40K mileage warranty, but Toyo's website says no mileage warranty on W rated tires (which these are) and you have to rotate every 3500 miles. I did every 6500 (oil change) with the EL42's. A friend had the Advan S4 on his G35 and replaced them within a year. It seems most Toyo Versado owners are happy with the choice. I paid $149/ea. installed. I heard the GY F1AS are noisy on TLs and don't last as long as the tread rating. I will update my impressions of the Toyo's after a few thousand miles.

i know I've posted this before, but I recently picked up a set of the Continential Contact DWS and they have been excellent thus far and according to Tirerack, they are the 2nd highest rated all season performance tire(under $200), currently. There's very little info on them since they were just released this summer.
