Default Difference between Orinoco and Saba

OK so I have a couple of 11'+ Orinoco's and several smaller Sabas (just plated this year). They look identical as this point as my biggest Saba is 7'. Aside from the flower is there any other tell tale signs at this point to tell them apart?

Saba has a lot stouter trunk than the Orinoco, and the Saba height is also taller. Check out Rmplmnz's photo gallery for a picture of a Saba trunk.
