Indeed a bit better than expected. Thanks for the test.
The 24 and 28 f/1.8 Sigmas were tested by SLRGear, the latter also by Lenstip, and the 20/1.8 by The-Digital-Picture.com. These lenses are indeed not very hot (to put it mildly) but strictly speaking they're still current so maybe a test is in order? Some people like the results they get from them.

The 20/1.8 and 24/1.8 are on my list, I haven't found a good 28/1.8 yet.
The 20/1.8 is no doubt the best of the three regarding build quality. The 24 and 28 both wobble like crazy.
Optically they are all not stellar. What makes them a bit special nonetheless is their rather short MFD.
