If you have a dry basement I see no problem is using solid wood on the main floor above. A paper underlay may be in order.
I'd also say add a humidfier if you are 20% - are your knuckles not a cracking? Keep the home at 40% all the time the movement will be minimized.

The room is 35x40 - 1400 square feet. I keep hearing about how you have to control humidity to keep movement of the floor to a minimum. I'm not sure I'll always be able to control humidity. I've got a humidifier on the furnace and a dehumidifier in the basement now and the humidity can swing from 60% to 20% over the course of a year.
