I tried one about 18 months ago. I was extremely impressed. I actually preferred the 450 to the 800 series (at least, the particular ones Fox had there).
If she does outdoor and pit gigs, it would be an ideal oboe. But if she has $6000 to spend on a new oboe and spends most of her time indoors, she would probably be better off with a used professional instrument in good condition. Peter Hurd or Hannah Selznik could definitely help out with that. This is the direction I took (used, barely played Marigaux 901) and I have never regretted it. It would certainly be worth investigating as a option if she does have the money to spend.
