Ah! that's really useful, nice one! Yeah it does look that way, doesn't it? She reckons the reach is fine on it as it is now, but i reckon if we'd gone with 46, she'd find it more comfortable.
@MisterMikkel that's a good point. i may just reinstate the bars we had on it before, which were fine. "Make it shiny!" she says :-)

I know the feeling!
And there's a subtlety to balancing silver and black components, but in the end, what good is a bike if it doesn't feel good to ride? -
Maybe get an inline seatpost rather than summat with offset. And as @MisterMikkel says black bars offers up many choices, if yer good lady isn't fussed about a traditional curved bar have a look at Ritchey venturemax comp, just got some, lovely shape, many hand positions, flared and slight sweep back on the flat.

I did a quick mapping of the 46 (blue), 50 (red) and 52 (green) to visualize the differences...(http://www.bikegeo.net/; stack is off as there is no input for seat tube length)
Not a lot of difference between the 50 vs 52 (3mm reach vs 20ish)....so maybe our collective size would actually be 46?
hmmm...
