How do I know if they will suit her without her trying them out?
Ideally she should try some 1st. However it's likely that she would take a couple of days to get used to the difference underfoot. For me though when you say...

She will likely leave you eating her rooster tails :D
You can start thinking about upping your game when she starts skiing backwards...they are twinnie's after all )
For that money, she could use them for a week, and get the money back on an ebay sale if she really does not like them.
They have been around for a few years, as you say, reviews are good, you found that a ski with a wider mid section made you a happier skier, and you want her to follow you. It's seems quite a sensible choice to me.
