I also would recommend resin if you can find one that both she and her teacher approve of. Of the resin ones I know of, the Fox 300 is what had been recommended for me, but....my hands are small and the reach was uncomfortable.

Left hand F? I use it ALL the time, but my background includes instruments on which one uses forward planning as to what fingering is going to work best for what is coming up. Can't figure out why someone would not use a left hand F, but everybody is different.

As to new/used....I bought a Rigoutat Expression on ebay (two week trial period) for the grand sum of $3000 US, took it to my teacher and he about fell off his chair at how good it was. I have never bought a brand new instrument and likely never will. With brasses I can check them myself, but with the oboe I had to have my teacher check it, and it was a spectacularly good one. From Ebay! He said "I'd play a concert on this right now!" And yes, he is a pro and retired college professor.
