Subject: Which diatonic harmonica is best for overblowing?

I realize there's probably no universally accepted answer to this, but
I'd like some pointers. I have a Hohner Big River, a Lee Oskar and two
Hohner Special 20s. I can't overblow the Big River (haven't gapped it
yet) at all. I can kind of do the Lee Oskar and I'm pretty decent at
overblowing the Special 20s. I can get a chromatic scale going up on the
Special 20s, but it's much more difficult going down.

I'm now looking for a new harp that would be more easily overblowable.
Are valved harps different in this area? Is the Overdrive worth it?

Thanks
