Having regrets means that it is not the last try and not the last bike of this class.
If you will decide one more time with the aggressive bike for your wife and it will be the same problem with her wrists try to use ergo grips - Ergon or somethin less expensive.
One of our friends had terrible problem with her wrists on Trek FX. I gave her the same advise and it worked.
For my wife some ebay $15 version of ergo grips works perfectly fine too... better than regular grips
Also, bar ends might help a lot to provide a rest by changing position..
