Roger,
Welcome to SegwayChat! It was great meeting you and your family in Santa Monica. Your wife is petite and the P will be fine for almost all functions except the I will work better on sand, hiking trails with roots and snow. The P model will be easier to transport. I have riden both machines and I think the slight loss in the P model's performance is far outweighed by its easier ability to transport it. As an example, it is far easier to put a P in a taxicab than an I. There are several members of this forum that own both and several of those have elected to sell their I and just have a P. I have no doubt that owning a Segway will enhance your wife's mobility and you will have no regrets.
Finally, contact Poohbear from this forum, who also has MS and has had a P for about a month.
Best regards,
Fred
