Default Angraecum didieri x Ascocentrum garayi and other interesting crosses

Saw this for sale on ebay but being north of the border has it's unfortunate limitations. Apparently one of the remnants of the hoosier hybridization efforts and a FASCINATING cross. I'm dying to see what this guy looks like, which got me thinking about different intergeneric angraecoid crosses.

Google searches don't turn anything up, so I thought I'd post the question here and see if anyone has images/experiences with these kinds of crosses: essentially, anything extending outside the normal range of the angraecum x aeranthes (ie has anyone seen an aerangis x angraecum cross before??)

I was surprised to find out after roaming a few boards that the idea of hybridization especially with relatively rare and endangered orchids (like the various aerangis and angraecum species) can be a touchy subject - I suppose it seems counterproductive to conservation efforts which aim to maintain large gene pools of pure species. Nonetheless, from a scientific standpoint, I think it's fascinating, especially when examining the potential of geographically isolated vandaceous species like the angraecoids to interbreed with other vandaceous genera like ascocentrum (from Asia!)
