I've never had either of those cages but personally wouldn't get a wooden cage. I think there's a good chance that she'd chew her way out.

Do you give her enough out of cage time? Maybe she needs to run around to burn off some of her energy.

Apparently, some female Syrians can be hard to please and some aren't happy in whatever cage they're in. A detolf is a big cage as it is.

You could also look for a large second hand fish tank which may be a safer option. It would be higher and she couldn't reach the lid. With nothing to chew that she shouldn't be chewing, she may settle down.

Does Isa have a Whimzee?
