chinense Hottest Non-Chinense Chilies

So my wife is allergic to Chinense chilies or at least it appears so.  She does like really hot food though.  What are the hottest non-chinense chilies you know of.
 
I know that Charleston Hot are probably the hottest annuums ranking at 100k.
Aji Cito a baccattum also are in that range.
 
What else is out there? 
 
I'm growing the Sadabahar. A cayenne from India. Suppose to be one of the hottest of the Cayenne's.
Don't know how true that is. I hope so. I don't know anybody els growing them. Maybe someone else could chime
in on the subject. I'm curious as well.
 
Lotah Bih is a very hot c. frutescens (said to be a bhut/bih ancestor) i would rate it between 100 and 200k hottest frutescens i've tried for sure.
Goat's weed, Nepali, Naga Khorika and Vietato are all extremely hot annuums i've tried and plan to grow again.
Jamaican Red Hot (annuum) is among the hottest being very likely an annuum x chinense cross.
Many bird peppers/chiltepins are in the 100k mark and taste wonderful to me.
I'm finally close to harvest 7pot x c. frutescens JR cross that should have extreme 'dry' heat like thai on steroids. I'll be back with pics and impressions very soon.
I hate overpowering chinense flavor profiles as well and would like to see more superhot x annuum/frutescens crosses.

What about Tabascos, or many of the other frutescens? Also many of the "birdseye" and cayenne types from India and parts of Asia are quite hot. The "Aruna" I got from Seeds of India is very very hot and tasty! Also, some "De Arbol" chiles can be very hot, but others not so much...

Most of those numbers are exagerated for commercial reasons IMHO, hope i've gived you a rough idea nonetheless!
Even the Lotah Bih was rated over 350K when released from Frontal Agritech but it's not that hot ;)
 
Hope it helps!

I was looking at this site:http://scovillescaleforpeppers.com/the-scoville-scale/

It seemed to me their numbers weren't matching other numbers I was seeing.
