After quite a bit of time with both Theraphosa blondi and stirmi and little information on comparisons other than setae on patella, here are 'my observations', of which seem to be consistent across all specimens.
Conclusion: T.stirmi is bigger built, more proportional, more agile, more powerful with longer legspan and T.blondi is hairier, less agile, stumpier and but far prettier.
For reference 2 adult females compared both with 4.1cm carapace width.
