Aphonopelma bicolouratum and Brachypelma boehmei what are the characteristics that I should look for in IDing the two?

The brachy has black femurs and the red fades toward to foot, the aphono has a more brown cast and the leg color is more single tone plus the aphono male goes black at maturity it should also probably run you more money

As a former owner of an A. bicoloratum (which I mistakenly believed to be a B. boehemii), I can also add that it was the slowest growing T I have ever owned, bar none.
