Hurricane Sez :


Depends on the register and  reed size of the harp in question I would think .

Bigger reeds , lower register tone harps , the first 4 to 6 holes of 16 hole chromatic set up for over blows fall in to this fact : 

More work and degree of sliding ability in an over blow or draw , or maybe  better stated , degree of difficulty due to the amout of air needed and the control of the larger demand of air for an overblow controled slide in a fast paced song  . You work much more harder  for those type of overblows in an up tempo'd song(s) when your in those larger harmonica reed territories IMO , but I could be wrong YMMV too.
