Poecilotheria sp?

Sold to me as a P. formosa a while back. After a molt and finally seeing her out I believe it may be a P. tigrinawesseli. Any thoughts?
What makes you think its Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli Vs. Poecilotheria formosa ? The leg patterns dont seem to match for tigrinawesseli
 
Carapace markings are pushing me towards tigrinawesseli, but like I said a ventral pic will put the ID to rest.
 
Thanks all. I appreciate the input.
I'll get her out and get some ventral pics when I rehouse her soon.
The underneath of leg IV has a black stripe versus the formosa's all white.
(at least that is what I see as a difference)
She is easily 6.5". I got her from an acquaintance in the hobby for $60 just a molt ago.
Great price especially if she is a tigrinawesseli!
 
Why I say is tigris from dorsal shot view is, the thickness of the legs in the front and the middle stripping of the abdomen that is different than P. formosa. Either way formosa or tigris $60.00 is cheap for that spider. Good deal!
