Dont Know if you have made a decision yet but i would go with the Aeris Wahini (sp?). Its the new womens BC from Aeris that has extra lumbar support and is cut to fit a womans curves. It also has adjustable shoulder straps to accomadate the womans needs.
The oceanic hera is the exact same as the Aeris Wahini since aeris and oceanic are virtually the same company. Well built BC for women, and from my customers the wahini is way more comfortable for a woman than the 5 oceans is
I can't comment at all on the 5 Oceans - though i occasionally wonder if I should have got it rather than my Atmos LX. My wife is a big fan of her Aeris Contour which is identical to the Wahini just the previous model with a slightly different color scheme.
Of course the proper thing to do is have your wife go down to an Aeris dealer and try them out.
