Trachycarpus ID

Whilst visitng a wholesale palm nursery I was walking passed the rows and rows of Trachycarpus fortunei (which I do not usually take a second glance at) when a strange looking palm caught my eye. I went in to have a second look and found the palm below. I'm thinking probably a wagnerianus seed got mixed in with the usual fortunei seeds and got overlooked as it grew up. These may be quite common in Europe or the US but they are certainly out of the ordinary here. Id be interested to hear any opions you palmy folk wish to offer. I've placed one of my usual fortunei palms next to it for comparison.

Thanks for confirming the ID everyone. I've wanted this palm for a while and already have a 1 year old plant from seed. Looks like I saved myself quite a few years waiting. Thanks again.

At this early stage it is hard to decide if it is T. wagnerianus or T. fortunei. But when it is one year and a half old it should look like this one (the diameter of the clay pot is 12 cm):
