Top action horns are very much around--it's just that they're not popular outside of the brass band scene. The Besson 994 is probably too large a BBb for you, but is 3+1. You may also want to look at the Courtois 182, a 3+1`compensating BBb now imported by G Leblanc. I believe that Willson also offers 3+1 BBb instruments.
In Eb, there are many more choices for top-action instruments.
