I visited that web site.  I am particularly interested in the 270 "Deluxe". 
I was disappointed to see that it has a wooden comb.  Do the screws go 
through to the opposite reedplate or cover?  Does Hohner still hand-sand the 
front surface of the comb and plates after assembly,  making the dimensions 
of every comb unique?  If so, this makes it awkward to install new 
reedplates.

Is the slide assembly different from the previous 270 design.  If so, how?

Farrell's plastic comb design demonstrated the advantages of screwing the 
covers and plates to the comb and not to the opposite cover or plate.
