hybrid Hot Bell Cross?

Just curious to see if anyone knows of, or has tried to cross a superhot with a bell pepper before.  It would have less heat of course, but would be cool to have a jumbo variety of some superhots.  If so, I'd be interested in the seeds.
 
In the end of 2010 I grew a Bell Pepper x Bhut Jolokia F3 hybrid plant. Seeds of it I bought from Fatalii who had made this cross.
The flowers of it had quite interesting coloration.

Fruits were quite small

The heat was typical for C.annuum hot varieties (so to say "dry") and its level was about 6-7 points of 10. There was no flavor typical to Bhut Jolokia.
Nothing more to talk about it ... So I didn't save its seeds.
P.S. All my photos of that hybrid plant are here
