Unknown Echinopsis Species

Hi,
I have here a wee thing, only identified at the nursery as 'Echinopsis Species'. It currently has 7 ribs, and approximately 10 spines per areole. The spines are very large as you can see. I have attempted to ID this myself via CactiGuides comprehensive species list, and the only ones that really stood out (due to spine size and general description) was Cuzcoensis. I am probably way off, but I wanted to attempt an ID before posting.
Size is approximately 4cm tall, 3cm diameter. Largest spine measures 3cm.

Echinopsis candicans would be my bet. It could also be one of the rarer Echniopsis, or a hybrid.

Trichocereus aff. werdermannianus or taquimbalensis IMHO
