Isn't your undying love and affection enough?

My gf is ready to upgrade from her 5Mp Optio to a digital SLR. She wants more control, better lenses and the option to focus manually. She's not willing to shoot film, having had a digital camera for a while now.
Of course, as any god-fearing PDML member and Pentax user would do, I recommended an istDs. The problem is that the best price for the istDs with an 18-55 seems to be $999 here in the USA, while a Canon Digital Rebel can be had with a similar lens for about $780. She thinks the Canon is bulky and ugly, but money is an issue. She won't take my offer to pick up the difference, either...
The only reason for her to go Pentax are the lenses she could borrow from me.
PDML members, I need you to give me more reasons to turn her away from the dark side!
TIA,
