I have three microscopes, one little digital one which is fun and great for looking at bugs..and two large ones. One binocular and one trinocular for small stuff...bigh mag is not really important..I can go to crazy numbers but it is a real pain...I view from 100x up to 400x
The optics on the ones you are looking at is very acceptable I expect...the difference between mine and these optically would not be great ... Early oit you just would not notice...besides being binocular and trinocular it the ones you are looking at don't have the 'stage" mine has..which is not a big deal when starting.
The ones you are looking at should produce views similar to mine I can manage the slides better is mostly the difference...but I would get a little 5 meg camera to go with it so she can view on a computer screen...on the net $50 and 5 meg is great.
The trinocular allows binocular viewing with the camera in place...with the ones you are looking at it is either view thru the EP or add the camera to see it on screen.
I probably would go the cheaper one and if she is interested and stays interested buy one with a stage and trinocular... Maybe you could pick one up for $500..
Here is what she could do with a 5 meg camera.
