The "deluxe" version (this one) was worth it.  It has the "extras" like the raised (3-D)belt.  There was one big draw-back for us though I worked around it.  The legs are super long and I had to hem it up 5 inches.  (My child is "50th percentile" in height, so it's not just him.)  Yes, most costumes are long so as to fit all kids, but this one has a "boot" appearance built into the bottom of each leg.  I had to hem it at the knees above the boots to keep the look!  That was hard to do.  But my 10 year old LOVED it all.
