Agree...CX-12 the favourite...as long as you carry them in ALL of the  va
rious keys the black CX-12 comes in. Quite a few of us don't only  play Key of 
C chromatics.
 
Then, many players still prefer 16-hole instruments such as the Super 64,  
Super 64X, the 280. 
 
My personal favourite is the Super 64. I don't find my 3 leaky at all. The  
shape of the cover plates are a huge improvement over the 280 - the entire  
design seems to make for far less 'leakiness'. 
 
For a fairly reasonably priced 16 hole chromatic it has a lot going for it: 
 gorgeous rich tone, extremely smooth mouthpiece -everything rounded and 
silky  (silverplated). Definitely my hands-down favourite Hohner 4-octave 
instrument. 
 
There are others (Meisterklasse,etc.) but I haven't played them.

CX-12 for the win.

I like 270's Hohner's  Super  Chromonica, most of my chroms are that  
model. 
If I were to re-equip,  I'd be tempted by the CX-12, which is louder, and  
has a more "bluesy"  tone.

I'm not a fan of 4 octave harps, they mostly leak too  much.
