And most people choose Macs.....and they aren't £1,500 btw.
I know CB's are not for everyone, but i love them, really quick bootup time, no virus's to worry about,

My wife's got the same model and I upgraded no problem. I would suggest the kit because that way you can utilise the current SSD as an external drive (which would be impossible without the caddy).

You can't upgrade the RAM on this model.

The 2105 MBP has an HDMI port and a 29" monitor will be no problem. If it's the Retina model you can run a 4K monitor as a second screen no problem (though a 1080p is good too) both at 60Hz (I run DELLs).

If she's got an iPhone then she'll love the Mac alongside. But please check the MBP is the early 2015 13" Retina (the 15 inch would likely be much more than £400ish).

If it's the one I think it is then to me it's a no-brainer over anything else.....IMO
yes its the MBP early 2015 Ive been looking at

the kit looks ideal

We hope to be in the US in Aug, so i might hold out and pick one up over there ( looking at the prices they are a little cheaper than the UK, so could go with a 15" )
