Hello Rimmel
For starters, I want you to know that I COMPLETELY agree with trouble and strifes desire to keep pace with your ski acquisitions.
Second, I am no gear maven, but did a bit demoing this year. Before compiling this short list, I also scrolled thru the reviews to see which skis seemed comptabile with your wifes skill level. So take my suggestions with a grain of salt, is what I am  saying.
Suggested Demo list:

Fischer Vision Breeze: good reviews, a great line of skis with a good reputation. I demoed the slightly more advanced Vision Vapor and strongly considered it as the one to get. From your description of her abilities and stats, the Breeze seems more suited to her at this point.

Dynastar Exclusive Active: good reviews. No personal knowledge.


Head Every Thang: good reviews, I bought this year after demoing twice. Good all around ski, very versatile, very light, but does not chatter much.

K2 One Luv. I demoed this ski at Steamboat.  Liked it but thought the softness of the flex would be an issue in northeast conditions. The K2 line has excellent word of mouth from women skiers I have talked with.

Hope this is helpful
