[Harp-L] 12-hole Diatonics



What options does one have for a 12-hole diatonic other than the
Marine 364? 
I seem to be in a mode of shrinkage...  That is, I've played the Steve
Baker Specials for about two years, roughly since the time I found out
they existed. 
But lately, I like the little third (third position?  Like when you
play in a minor on a diatonic g?  That's third, right?) 
antics one might sometimes perform on a standard 10-hole, so I thought
I might compromise with a 12-hole diatonic. 
But the Marine 364's tuning, if it's like the 365... and please tell
me if it isn't... has us bending predominately in notes lower than I
care to be in, and sacrificing some of the higher bends/over-blows we
might experience in the higher registers. 
So again with feeling...  What other 12-hole options exist and are
they tuned similarly to the Marine 364?

P.S.
"Predominately"???
What the...???
Ok Often!!  All too Often!! How about that instead?
