that's fantastic playing but I do not find it as expressive as the diatonic.

The word fantastic coming from you Chris is high praise indeed. As I consider you to be THE authority. I'm truly humbled. Seriously.

Maybe its because the chrom is too even from note to note?

Actually I agree lolol, that's why I (try to) play both. Try this one. It's a diatonic. Not as even note to note. But it's as fluid as this old country boy is capable of.

I don't know, there is only one Chromatic player that really floats my boat and that's william galison.

Well, I have to agree with you there. I love the guy. Musically AND personally. I mean, I like a lot of other chromo players, and I can go all the way back to my hero Leo Diamond, but Will and I are 'sympatico'. He and Enrico Granefei just reach me for some reason.
