I wouldn't consider Supersuk a complex Paph hybrid. Look at the parentage of Paph. Winston Churchill sometime ...now theres a complex hybrid. Supersuk is as you stated combining three species and interestingly you can see components of each of the three in the hybrid.
One half of the cross is sukhakulii and you get the overall shape, wide spotted petals and some color from it. The size of the dorsal sepal and some color comes from the lawrencianum and the laquered finish comes from mastersianum.
Sorry for being a bit blunt but I've raised and bred orchids and more specifically Paphs for many years.

Look at the pics of brachys in situ in Burkes book on paphiopedilum. If I remember correctly, there is a picture of hundreds of bellatulum plants growing up and down a cliff face. I bet it would do well mounted as Ed said.
