It was ten years and half a world away that we bought ours.  You will need
to listen to it anyhow, so go to some local stores that sell pianos with
your wife, so she can play and listen.

Twenty years ago that was true, but not today.  Again, visit some stores
with your wife and listen as she plays.

Your "problem" is that you will be able to save money if you can get a nice
weighted-key keyboard without the built-in amplifier and speakers, and maybe
without the synthesizer.  I do not know if such a thing is available, but if
you want to save money this is what you should look for.
