Great, both. Still slightly different. I wrote about it earlier this 
week.

> 2) Tone/tembor/tuning-wise

Tone: both will sound lik me if i play them and like you if you play 
them. Besides that both can sound pretty harsh with lots of overtones 
if played that way.
Tuning: Steve Baker reportet in detail about the tuning of Hohners 
Crossover. I found mine  tuned quite good. MY Manji was not tuned very 
good, with beating octaves. So i could not figure a tuning system. 
Well this was only ONE instrument, maybe all other Manjis are tuned 
perfectly and i got the only one that was made on early monday 
morning. I don't say they're all tuned like mine!

> 3) Overblow friendly-wise?

Both are overblow friendly out of the box. I think there's a slight 
advantage with Hohner's Crossover. 

let me add 4) Which one is better?

One isn't better than the other. If you wanna know which is better for 
YOU there's no other way than trying yourself.
