Whisper Key Lock allows the whisper (register) key to stay closed when she plays in the lower register a lot. It's not necessary, but it's a very nice addition when you can add it!
high D, E and F keys are to help facilitate those notes (They're the top of the staff notes in Treble clef!)
The double low C key is another feature that is helpful but not needed. It allows for easier hand place when you need to get to the low C quickly. My first bassoon had one of these (the school one), and the next one that I buy will definitely have one (my current doesn't).

You might also want to check them out. Since you're in the area, they can help you tremendously. If I recall correctly, they specialized in double reeds before they opened up to other instruments.
Good Luck
