My 2p:
Get the Dawes. A whole bike is better than a frame.
Also I think there might be less work than you think. I know a new powdercoat in you GFs fav colour sounds good, but I really think with some elbow greese you could clean it up well... and IMO I think it'll look better than a home re-spay which prob wont last that well (no offence intended).
Then its just regreese, tyres, brakes, cables, saddle (mates GF has a charge one - good apparently).
If you have money left you could rebuild the wheels.
Remember your GF will love the thought and the fact you've done the work.
