Just thought about this. I am not sure about Special 20's are ( Compromised Tunnings ) And Marine Band's are what? the same? and for the openings one the side for a brighter sound.

Hi Harplayer, I think it is

Hi Harplayer,
I think it is to each his own in terms of what people prefer to play. I have a mix of Marine Band Deluxe, Marine Band, CrossOver and Special 20. The Special 20 I just recently purchased from Gunter Bayer, and I have to say that it is my favorite Harp. Air tight and responds awesome. Plus I just really like the sound that comes out of it. And I like the feel of the Special 20. I just wish I could try all the different model harps. :-)

That's one nice thing about the harmonica. Most models are quite affordable and you can sample the fruits of many trees:)
