I thought you already had one like that, the Starwind 19?

... Ulterior motive at the moment is to get wifey to see
how nice a bigger boat interior would be. Would be nice to stand in the
cabin (at least for her, she's 5'4", I'm 6'4", but don't mind ducking), a
head with a door, a real galley, yadda yadda.

There's a lot of nice boats out there. THe important thing is to get one
that your wife will like to sail & cruise on, but that also satisfies
all the practical (or impractical) demands you both have.

What size & price range do you have in mind?

I feel I've been quite lucky in the boats my wife & I have saied &
cruised. It's been a lot of great time together.
