Nick, I think your plant is E alboxanthina indeed. BTW mine is about to bloom too, maybe next month. E. alboxanthina (plant) is one of the largest if not "the" largest Brazilian Encyclia. Pseudobulbos of mine are about 8" tall, and the inflorescence is about 1 meter. On the other hand frowers are not that many. It has nothing to do with E pachyantha.
Its flowers are somewhat variable but yours fits quite well. Also the flowers are larger than most other Encyclia, but here they are not the largest - there are many larger than E.alboxanthina.
