That was my assumption, although I have never been close enough to a chromatic to try (also, I can barely bend on the diatonic yet, I haven't been playing for long). I just looked up more information on bending on chromatics (the harmonica.com forums) and indeed, doable, but not supposed to sound as good as the chromatic on its own. Interesting to know, and thanks for your answer :)
