I agree. From my experience with tarantulas, they're all equally aggressive and fast when behind glass. For me, they've all been hands-off display animals and I treat each one with the same respect when doing any sort of cage maintenance. As long as you do the same, you have nothing to worry about.
Here's a shot of my mature male Poecilotheria rufilata at 6" shortly after his last molt on 02.12.13. I took it with the front doors to his enclosure open and the lens less than 6" away. He didn't care for one second that I was around and sat in the same place the whole time I was taking pictures. All he does now is wander around at night drumming loudly for a mate - not exactly the terror that pokies are made out to be.
