* Aji Dulce 1 (#1 favorite for taste; fruity green, not sure how it tastes red, since I ate them green; hardly spicy at all; great in raw salsa)
* Aji Habanero (to me, it tastes like it's about 50k to 75k SHU, but it's supposed to be 5k to 10k; it's baccatum, not chinense like actual Habaneros)
* Scotch Bonnet (some Scotch Bonnet's are higher than your range; so watch out for the SHU)
* Ring of Fire (the taste is pretty simple, but I still like it; basically like Cayenne, but hotter, with more sugar, and small peppers; I think this is hotter than advertised, personally; Baker Creek's version is the one I like; I tried another and it was different)
* Aji Omnicolor (fruity taste red, citrus taste orange; said to be 30k to 50k SHU; fully ripe ones are sometimes a lot hotter than that, to my tongue, but to me, the normal ones taste about 20k to 60k SHU)
* Grandpa's Home (with certain uses; you might not like it, but it's similar to Yatsufusa with different heat qualities; I like it dried and used as a spice in cooked dishes; savory taste—not sweet at all)
* Cayenne (the powder adds a nice zesty flavor to dishes; underrated spice; I didn't used to notice the flavor, though)

Could you tell me more about Grandpa's Home? I like the name a lot and your description intrigues me.

I recommend adding it to your MMMM wish list if you'd like seeds.
