I think the MAC is a great choice. If your budget is 150, then its best to just go all in. The professional seems to have thicker spine and a bolster. All good qualities if your dad is used to german knifes. Plus, they make the knife more durable. This one seems to only be ~$110.

Another recommendation is this Gyuto I have & love dearly.

Along with it's vegetable slicing counter part:

I highly recommend both of these.

With respect, I think you should try to actually hold the actual knife before deciding. Each of those has a different feel due to the handle shape, material, front to back balance, and honed edge. If you don't have that option then don't be afraid to return a knife if it doesn't feel totally natural when you cut with it.

I gift the Victorinox Santoku regularly. It's a great blade, well-balanced, and keeps an edge well, especially for the price. I personally use a MAC santoku or my chef's for veggie prep but they're more expensive.
