However, keep in mind that while RD-ers have a completely 'clean' application (no one has their apps before, so there adcoms have no preconceptions), deferred applicants have a sort of 'X' over their applications, meaning that it's likely that adcoms will review these apps with slight negative preconceptions.

On the other hand, the deferred group, presumably, does not contain persons who have absolutely no chance of admission--those who were rejected in the SCEA round. This, by definition, should make this group a bit stronger than the RD pool, which still contains applicants with no reasonable chance. So, this may be a wash, and deferred people really might be on essentially equal footing with RD applicants.
