I'll go with the suggestions of getting a 505.

The contrast difference between the two generations of screens is huge, and once you've used the new one, the old one is no where as enjoyable.

You've mentioned that she borrowed it for a week, so she's probably gotten quiet used to the better screen, so 500 would really look dull.

Also, the 505 has the new firmware, and will keep on being updated by Sony, unlike the 500 so it may be worth it spending a little bit more now for a longer product lifespan.

Keep an eye out for deals, as the 505 has gone on sale a few times for as low as $220 so you may not have to spend as much as you think, especially with the Holiday season just around the corner.

Eg. Dell's already got it for $260, so shop around
