While absolutely not cheap, mine arrived after 10 days from ordering which is fairly fast to New Zealand, and I can report that the magnetic version is super high-quality - the photos don't do it justice (and sorry, the light in my kitchen made it look like it has white speckles which it doesn't).
It's nothing like a vinyl wrap or sticker, the finish is identical to my DSI Tempest. I went for the colour magnetic version and was worried it'd make the Deluge look garish or cheap (like some of the other overlays I saw) but no. Super classy while grouping functions into an infinitely easier to read layout.
The magnetic version is a no-brainer to install/remove and the fit was perfect. It's slightly thicker than a wrap so you'll notice that the small, round buttons have slightly less travel but I actually find this more comfortable when pressing - buttons trigger all functions with no issue. YMMV.
I'd prefer no cut-out for the Synthstrom or Deluge logos but overall, a huge improvement when playing live, or if you're new to Deluge like me.
Sure, it ain't cheap but you absolutely get what you pay for. Hope that helps someone.
