The American 45° downwind does it pretty well - it's easy to space into even quite a bust pattern.

The big advantage of OHJ in my mind however, is that it doesn't rely upon RT to tell you what the circuit direction is, plus allows a good look at the field before landing. Downwind does neither of those things, and even a deadside join only does the second.
