Robust and it can take a beating.
We are the people who take care of their bikes and treat them with great respect. We will never be able to find the true meaning of "Robust Engine". Why don't you ask those Wheelie Marne wali awaam? Ever wondered why they almost always choose the CG-125 to do this kind of stuff and not other choices available like Piaggio, GS150 etc etc.
The way they ABUSE they engine, treat it like a bi*ch ... it should be obvious what robust means when it comes to this engine 
Plus, i also said that its easier to Maintain and even you can do the work yourself. I also said something about it being cost effective too.
I am sure you get the point .
I completely agree with Khan bhai on this one.
Companies are usually focusing more on LOOKS and not the RIDE. Take Piaggio for example, a great package which not only has the Power but also is Very pleasureable to ride.
Deluxe, despite having some advantages, can never match the Riding Pleasure of a Piaggio (it becomes obvious on highways)
And you are not the first one to mention the Locked Power of Deluxe. Even mechanics (illiterate ones) accept that too. For some reason, they have never been able to figure out the actual reason behind its locked power. (You remember that behavior where bike would go upto 100KM/h in 4th Gear, but will actually come down to 95 as soon as you put it in 5th Gear?)
Anyway, I can't say my hopes are high for this one as AHL has never impressed me with its "Changes" in upcoming bike. They usually change some **** and bits here and there and claim to have changed "hundreds of parts". Talk about "Boasting their Chuss"
