Thinking slightly sideways, if needing to play a bit louder is your issue you could consider XB40s, which are considerably louder than other 10-holes.  In fact, they are by some margin the loudest harps of any type that I possess.  They are not cheap, of course, and, well, maybe, to know 'em is to love 'em...
