Joseph,
It is good to have a rarer radio, but to me the DeLuxe version is just that much more good-looking and, well, convenient to use.
And, the magnetic tuning, strictly speaking, while probably has some use in the regular version, was the most useful in the DeLuxe version, as it was correcting the inaccuracy of the preset position of the tuning cap. Whereas when you tune by hand, this is unnecessary, even if if you listen for a long time, it will keep tracking the station in case of the drift.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
