I debated buying it but passed on it.
The Casio is probably gonna win in portability and I think a lot of the sort of non-essential extras, but ultimately the action is all that matters if you're serious about learning how to play an acoustic piano. If you just want to learn keyboard, without intention of switching to acoustic at some point, then it isn't quite as important. And if the stand and bench were important value adds in the bundle to you, it might end up costing you more to go with the FP-10 so you have that to consider as well.
I got a FP-10 very recently and love it except I do find repeating single notes very quickly to be quite difficult compared to any acoustic I've ever played around on. At my skill level it's a non-issue and unlikely to be one anytime soon, though. Otherwise I am extremely happy with it - I also got it for $180 from adorama (it had been dropped and some key guides were bent out of alignment, took me about an hour to repair myself), so any shortcomings are easy to overlook for me since the cost was so relatively low.
If you've got the credit and don't mind the environmental impact, you could just order both and return the one you like less?

I'm willing to bet you can get a better deal on a used one locally or online within the next month and a half, but if getting it new is important to you you're unlikely to find a better deal than this. If I were her I'd be happy to get my gift 45 days early
