Very good advice indeed.
FWIW I do find that the small amount of extra space and the larger window in the Deluxe sleeper is a very noticeable improvement over the standard sleeper (and of course the shower and toilet is nice to have too). This improvement will of course be more important for the longer journeys where you might spend some of your time seated, rather than sleeping.
