Most Avicularia are a completely different beast - a lot of them tend to be a lot more easygoing and more tractable. Care-wise the avics and the p. Irmina are pretty close, but it comes down to what you really want from a tarantula.

If you want something rare and amazing to look at and you really like the Suntiger, then go for it. If you start to prefer the avics, then go for that. The only thing is that you'll be able to find a lot more avics much easier than you would find a suntiger.
I'm not worried about finding Avics. We bred our terminal male metallica to our female and are hoping for a good sac from her. We also have the Versicolor. I like the latter one more. Used to be fairly aggressive but has seemed to calm down in the last month or so.
