What are the arguments to buy the Maia 65 to my wife, instead of Naos 70. Naos seams a good choice, more space, same price and considerable lighter.

The Maia, designed to fit a woman's body, will likely be more comfortable for her. Additionally, there is minimal padding on the back of the Naos (I own the 70) compared to the Maia. Lastly, be careful buying a bigger pack than you need because you'll end up carrying more with you and adding weight.
