Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I owned 2 S-Works mountain bikes. Loved them. I may get another FS Epic 29er

In the Recreational Vehicle World of motor homes, 5th wheel and travel trailers the number one rule is, "Happy wife, Happy life" so why not just do as she wants since she will be riding the bike. Just insist that she does some good test riding of different models.

Your wife's Gallium is comparable to Specialized Pro line. The Gallium Pro is comparable to S-Works.
