The Deluxe is very similar to the Standard, but there are improvements that are definitely worth the extra £150.
Gel breasts. These have to be fondled to be believed
Whoever manufactures these dolls for Kimber Doll has done an excellent job. Same size as always (British DD), but they feel so much better; worth getting your hands on 
Shrugging shoulders. She can now wear bra straps properly
More posable for photography or unusual sex positions if either are your thing.Hinged neck joint. They don't advertise this, but she now has a proper neck joint like the higher end brands; no more goose-neck. The head has the usual M16 thread and a stock hollow threaded tube is supplied; you can also fit quick-connectors and the ball-joint mounts that some people are selling, as well.
Improved body sculpt. They don't advertise this, but new Kimber has a slightly thicker waist, another 2 in / 5 cm circumference, so regular sized clothes fit her better.
Improved face make-up. They don't advertise this, but while the head sculpt is the same, she looks less cartoony and more realistic, due to a much improved make-up job.
Articulated fingers. The most waited-for improvement over the standard model; only hinged, no ball joints, but still a very welcome improvement. Now she'll be able to hold a real smartphone in my photographs
Cost (in the UK) is £649 plus shipping, compared to £499 plus shipping; the box size is the same and so is the shipping cost. The box is marked PRO-158, whereas the standard model box is marked KD-FS-158.
The warehousing and shipping agent in the UK, XPO Logistics, get's a firm must try harder. They made two mistakes in shipping me Kimber dolls on two separate occasions; one was a forgivable random failure, but for the Deluxe it was lack of resilience against a common foreseeable problem; I had to write them a strongly worded email to obtain a satisfactory resolution for that one. They are also rather costly at anything up to £169 for the North of the UK, whereas UPS charge around £50 in most of the country.
Conclusion. The Deluxe model Kimber Doll is a significant improvement over the standard model. The standard model is great for the price, but so is the Deluxe for her price; if you are buying one for the first time, and can afford it, go for the Deluxe. For those who can afford to upgrade, she's noticeably better and well worth it. Shipping (in the UK) needs improvement.
Please note that I bought my doll with my own money and as an ordinary end-user; there was no inducement, free doll, or any other privilege afforded me to do this review.
