looking for a field pea variety to fill a particular niche

I'm hoping someone here can recommend a field pea variety for me. I'd like to find a variety with a large red pea and a colorful (red, purple...) hull as a replacement for Red Rippers but with a growth habit and hopefully productivity more like Colossus. Is there anything that fits the bill? The Red Rippers are great except that they haven't been as productive as most other pea varieties I've grown, and the long pods seem to invite rot and mold with the ends lying on the ground. It seems like they really ought to be trellised, but I think I'd rather avoid that by finding a different variety if I can.
