Larry Adler chromatic

I've ended up with the Larry Adler 12 hole Hohner chromatic, sounds great. But is this one ok for blues in the long run?
The Hohner 270 Deluxe sounds like the one I will get next.

The 12-hole Larry Adler is

The 12-hole Larry Adler is just a 270 with different cover and box graphics. The Larry Adler 16-hole is a 280, again with different graphics.

And if the 270 was good enough for George Smith, Rod Piazza, William Clarke, and Paul deLay, I'd say you're just fine with that Adler. Unless you want to play 3rd position in a different key or want the lower range of a 16-holer.
