What Capo said. If you've got the money and you like the DLX a lot better, that's great....do what's going to make YOU happy.
Speaking only for myself, I probably couldn't justify spending more than about $1,000 for the swap. When I walk out into a parking lot around sundown, see my '13 sitting there gleaming in the light, and think to myself "Now that is one good-looking machine," any little thoughts about cosmetic improvements tend to just fade away. Add to that the fact that there are some really nice used bikes to be found up in the $4,000 - $5,000 neighborhood and, well....you get the picture.
