I'll admit that I bought my Brooks saddle because I wanted a Brooks saddle and I was anticipating to break in process and willing to suffer the consequences. In the case of your wife, if she is indifferent to saddle brands, you might want to try something other than a Brooks that might be more comfortable right off the bat. Some people DO say that a Brooks is comfy right out of the box but I think those people are the exception to the rule.
