If I buy the Digital Deluxe upgrade...
No.
The expansion will be the same price to everyone. Well, most likely it’ll have 3 different versions:
-Normal
-Digital Deluxe
-Collector’s Edition
But don’t expect a discount.
if i were you, i’d try to save up my gold, to be able to buy it with gems. plenty of time, from now, till release.

they never even said the payment model, also, it would be terrible management on their part if they didnt include to be able to buy it with gems. Not everyone has a disposable income.

I’d expect the expansion to be paid for with cash only, but the digital deluxe to have a gem store upgrade option. So I guess that’s one what you could “save money” by saving up gems. A model like that just “feels” right.

Then those people won’t get the expansion. This game is not Free2Play; it is Buy2Play. What does that mean? It means that the game’s boxed client must be purchased to play the game. It means that the game’s boxed expansions must be purchased to play. There is no going around this.
Oh, and yes they did announce the business model already. It’s in the FAQ:

Q: Is the expansion “buy to play”?
A: Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is a paid expansion to Guild Wars 2, but once you buy it, there are no subscription fees. This means that you can continue playing and access future updates for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns with no subscription fee.
The expansion will be ‘buy with real money’ but still you might be able to upgrade ‘the expansion that you bought’ from standard edition to digital deluxe with gems just like we have right now
