I've had a Kindle DX for about a year and a half and don't use a light with it. But I don't travel much. And when I rarely do want to read in the dark, I'll read on my plugged-in-with-a-nice-long-cord phone instead, which may not be an option for you.
Knowing me, I would probably buy the deluxe case and never use the light. :-)
More seriously (and I think you may have said this), the questions I personally would ask are about the weight and price differences between this case and the case that you'd otherwise get. I do not in fact ever take my Kindle out of its bought-from-Amazon-for-$50 case. Except when I got a (free-due-to-warranty) replacement Kindle because I cracked the plastic from trying too many times to open the back of the leather case. (I see the new case is designed to prevent that.)
