Default New spider suggestion

Hi there, i'm looking into a new T for just after christmas, I want somthing that uses a lot of web, originaly I wanted a true spider such as a trap door but I love orb weavers also but the size of housing would need to be huge

I saw info from various scources showing orbs just free on a web in the corner of a room and apparently they never move, anyone been brave enough to try it? I know my missus would probably kill me before the spider if I even tried.

Ive had chillies, pinktoes, a few mantids, chacos, scorps etc and I think i'm ready for a few different species. Ive never been one for handling or really kept them for show so there mainly just for me. Any suggestions and pics would be really helpful, thanks!

I knew someone that kept a free range Nephila spp. She never budged from her web in a ceiling corner
