I bought this because of it's fairly high height which let me use it while playing my upright bass, and it works like a charm.
Went for the deluxe because of all metal parts, but since I haven't tried the regular I can't speak about the difference of them, just that it feels solid, it was easy to assemble and supports my note sheets without issue, be they paper or tablet.
One thing I was not aware of however was a warning considering the material of it's feet, which can according to the manual cause stains if they stand around too long so I store it on a piece of cloth to prevent it from affecting my floor.
The only issue so far is that it has not made me a virtuoso, no matter what sheets I use. But I'm sure that's just an issue of finding the right ones.
