Default Recommendation?

I'm thinking of getting a new T (my 4th) but was looking for a recommendation from you guys? I only know of 2 online shops and neither have anything that catch's my eye

thespidershop.co.uk and tarantula-shop.com

I quite liked the look of a xenisthis intermedia but havnt come across any

So yeah, suggestions and reasons would be most apreciated

oh and the 3 I own are:

Haplopelma Lividum
G. Rosea
Greenbottle Blue

Xenesthis immanis are FANTASTIC spiders!! Big, chunky, colourful, flicky
I've got a juvenile female and she's fab! A cricket bin.
You'll find some at BTS guarantee it. Also, check out foreign dealers lists. They might have some

You should try an arboreal if you want more of a challenge.

Well you have a pretty spider (C. Cyaneopubescens), a docile spider (G. Rosea) and a physco spider (H. Lividum!). So now you should get either an arboreal species, i would also recommend the Versicolor. Or a massive spider, T. apophysis, T. Blondi or L. Parahybana. or a slightly smaller 'large' spider, but a bit prettier, would be A. Geniculata.
