Colombian Volcan vs Etophian Harrar

I've been roasting a premix blend of 250 Brazil natural with 100 Colombian Volcan and enjoying it as an espresso.
They both roast well together.
Cheers

Harrar and Volcan are totally different beans. One is a large washed fairly uniform bean. The other is a somewhat motley natural processed bean. Totally different flavours like comparing Riesling to Shiraz - both wine sure, but thats about as far as the similarities go!
Take Andy's suggestion and have a stab at something different. The PNG Wahgi is more similar to the Volcan than the Harrar. So why not get both?

You are asking other people to tell you what you like, far better off experimenting to find what suits your own tastes best!
The Harrar is a ripper, I drink it in a Brazen as a filter all the time but it wouldn't be in my top 3 as a single origin espresso but having said that, many other CS'rs do love it as an espresso and drink very little else.
Considering you have only ever roasted the Colombian Volcan I suggest you throw a dart into BeanBay and grab a bag of anything, no tricks, everything is great or it wouldn't appear here and in time you'll build your own preferences and start blending and roast profiling to suit your own taste.
Take lots of notes and enjoy the ride.

Yeah I have only roasted Colombian volcan before. I am happy with Colombian volcan but one I finish the bag I wouldn’t mind trying something new. I agree they got some good beans. PNG waghi easy for roasting?? Thanks for your reply mate

This is a 'how long is a piece of string ' question and the answer is any of the beans in Beanbay is a good option.
Is the Colombian the only one you're tried roasting so far? Are you seeking a bean with similar qualities?
You won't go wrong with the Ethiopian but why not try the PNG Wahgi which can be enjoyed on its own but also works well in a blend.
