also, at least in 2014, the deluxe not only had more and better chrome as mentioned above, but tubeless tires were standard. not sure if tires are same now.
i debated between the two for no end. already having a touring bike, I bought the deluxe and don't regret it not one tiny bit. and I'm 6'2" and since going apes the bike fits me like a dream.
a lot has been done since this pic, but I'm crazy about the deluxe

Heritage and deluxe are both great bikes, it is hard to choose between them. Me, I went with the fat boy, which has my favorite characteristics of both bikes and which does not have spokes. I don't like spokes.

The 16 Heritage also had standard throttle by wire and cruise control. With the leather bags, windshield and sissy bar with passenger backrest makes it worth $2K more than a Deluxe so it is a bargain. That's why I got one instead of the Deluxe in 2016. Besides it was the Teal and Crushed Ice.
All 14 spoked H-D's came with tubeless tires and the same vendor for chrome wheels.
