My other one is still pretty young, but I've been training her and rarely get bitten, unless I do something stupid at feeding time.

I've never had a defensive bite from either of them, and would recommend one to pretty much anybody. Just remember, hook train early!
Your bigger one is probably just hungry. I've got some aggressive feeders but when they're not looking for food, they're quite handlable.
