I am sorry to hear that nobody has a good word for a decent chromatic harmonica. If you can control your lip position (which you ought to with ANY harmonica) Then the tone and intonation they allow, never mind the little runs and slides you can reach with practice, open up a much wider range of playing styles than most diatonics. And of course you can bend the notes!
I play blues, some more jazzy stuff as well as more traditional Scots Irish and bluegrass styles on a chromatic.
In many respects it is easier, because the progression of the notes simply goes straight up through the octaves.
Downside? They are more expensive by quite a margin.
Stick at it , there is one out there which will suit you just fine. Mine kept me in beer all through my college days, and has earned a few pints since.
