The perfect harmonica at a reasonable price

Okay, it may be utopian, but here's the deal: I already have a Hohner Super 64 Chromonica. It has been through a few falling down into the floor or asphalt so it probably needs some servicing to be at its very best again. More importantly I've always found it a little big to control vibrato properly while also controlling the slider. So I'm thinking of buying a 12 hole harmonica as my main instrument and repair the Super 64 and keep as a supplement.

However, I have some requirements:

Silver coated mouthpiece for better saliva flow and thus harmonica easily sliding between lips.
Full (enclosed) cover plates for good volume. This is important since I often play together with others at sing alongs.
Easy reed response. Who wouldn't want that?
I want to be able to produce the clear bell like sound of my fellow countryman Sigmund Groven. I haven't actually tried or heard the Suzukis live, but my impression is that they are a little darker in their tone than Hohner.
I play left handed, so I must be able to rebuild the harmonica to switch the mouthpiece around. Usually, that's not a problem.

In short, a 12 hole Super 64(48) would probably be the ideal. Or even better a  Concert Harmonica Polle with steel covers and a brass comb.

What kind of harmonica is there really that would fit or closely fit my requirements? Or can I put something together that may fit and sound good?

All you'd be missing is the silver mouthpiece. ;)

Although I find a regular CX 12 slippery enough, the CX 12 Gold is also slippery, and classier. ;D
