Default Recommendations for a red complex hybrid?

Much as I love my Paph species, I'm finding myself wanting to try growing a complex hybrid; really intrigued by those full, round flowers. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a particular named cross that stays fairly compact, and has predominantly red/mahogany blooms? Thanks for any assistance!

Are you talking about, what's referred to as the Bulldog Paphs? If so, there are quite a few complex ones with predominant deep red/burgendy/mahogony coloring.

A few that I know of, are:

Paph. King Henry VIII (Warrior 'Greens Variety' x henryanum) - compact

Paph. Lady Sarah (Winston Churchill x Totally Awesome)

Paph. Olympic Forest 'Penn Valley' AM/AOS x henryanum 'Bulldog' - compact

Paph. Snow Spotter (Paph. Spotter 'Leopard' AM/AOS x Snow Leopard 'Fernbrook' HCC/AOS)
