A luxury box?! Thats pretty lame. And a special pen? Does it work better or make it easier to use? If not, who cares? I wish they wouldn't pull these kind of cheap marketing tricks and just sell us the reader for $399.
It sounds like they are saying that both will be available. The "basic" DR800 for $399 and the "Deluxe" DR800 for $449. I'm guessing BestBuy was jumping the gun and didn't have everything ready on their site, and had just listed the Deluxe one. Maybe that has something to do with why they referred to that model as "Bronze"?

Personally, I'd go for the Basic one.
