Which direction does it sail?
Luxor to Aswan, southbound, over 4 or 5 days, covering Karnak, the West Bank, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae.

Is it worth upgrading from this ship?
If this is a once-in-a-lifetime trip, yes. The step up to deluxe changes the on-board experience more than the price gap suggests. The temples are the same either way, so it comes down to how much of the trip you expect to spend on board.
