To be honest that's really cheap for what they are.. They are extremely rare hense the price tag - you won't find one cheaper than that

I would - as its an expensive mistake to make maybe consider another colourful tarantula that's more visable, easy to care for and readily available instead? Depending on if you prefer arboreal, terrestrial or fossorial?

I've seen the ones you mean on the spidershop website - they are not blondi's but stirmi? Price is good but it's your choice what tarantulas you like the look of and do you have the experience to care for it as best you can? Stirmis require a damp environment compared to some - In my opinion they are not the most beautiful of tarantulas and many people want them just as a flex to say 'I've got a bird eater' due to the size.. Personal choice though they also take up a fair bit of room once adult

They all grow to roughly the same size-- there's is difference in the look (hairs on the legs etc) blondi and apophsis are rarer and more expensive - also be aware that all 3 of them also have extremely irritating uricating hairs that can cause real problems in some people especially if they get in your eyes or throat
Have you considered tarantulas like the lasiodora parahybana? They get to a very impressive size, much much cheaper than a stirmi and very Hardy?
