There's a new video on congamaster class where Jesus is playing a bass cajon in Cuba. it's a vertial style, sort of like a very big, short and square tumba. There are 2 "mini" cajon's built off each side of the instrument and each one produces a slightly different pitched slap/pop sound. I hadn't seen any thing like this before and thought it was pretty cool. Unfortunately I needed to log in to the website in order to watch the video otherwise I'd post it.
If I were to buy another cajon it would probably be this style - although I've never seen one on line and have no idea where to purchase. Jesus was carrying a cata part on the mini side portion while playing the down notes and other variations on the bass portion, along with slaps etc there as well. A very versatile instrument...
