Thank you to the dpreview forum participants!

Every piece of advice given here was exactly on point. We went to Pro Photo Supply on Saturday (teenager grumbling the whole way of course ...) and it went exactly as I'd hoped.

The sales person first tried to clean and repair her current lens, tried on a different body, immediately diagnosed that it was broken. She got a short tutorial in cleaning lenses, particularly the electronics area.

Then he started walking her through the various options, starting with something way outside my price range, but he wanted her to see what a really nice lens does.

Next, he pulled the two Canon's listed above, and quickly recommended that she get the cheaper of the two lenses (the non-STM one).
Great local service, great purchase, and she's happily snapping photos again. Thanks all and happy holidays!

thanks for the update - glad to hear she's happily shooting pics again
