So I was thinking about buying this for my lady and then bringing it up to speed with 11 spd stuff.

The De Rosa is the better price/value, but buy the one that fits; I like both and the other isn't priced badly either. The De Rosa is an excellent price...the other is fair. One argument for the other one is that it will be 130mm spaced and will play better/easier with a modern group.

However, I think that DeRosa might be a little big for most girls at 58cm...

The De Rosa has been listed for a few months now, I bet he will take $600. I thought about buying it myself because I really like the colour but I already have two De Rosas.
