For visual it's hard to beat the contrast of refractors - it really does help the seeing of faint objects.

Visit a starparty or similar so your wife can have a look through scopes to see what she likes.

hmmm ... what do you think a 6" refractor would compare to, in light gathering power?

I am guessing something like an 8" reflector?
