The Aria Classic is EXACTLY the same toilet with a manual pedal that protrudes from the front of the toilet. If you're stuck with an Aria Deluxe, this is the replacement for you. The mounting bolts and water connection are identical. Just remember that the Aria comes in low and high profile (height from the floor) so you will have to match that and the color.
We replaced ours and it was like night and day. It was actually a pleasure to use the rest room. (I know that seems silly, but anyone who has one of these demon possessed toilets will understand) You will NOT be sorry you replaced it.
I would add that the pedal actuator on the manual version of this toilet is very well designed and is easy to operate. Right in front where it's easily accessible, and not way up on the side where you have to lift your foot way off the ground. Press half-way down to fill, and all the way down to flush...works great. The water also does not pulse on the manual toilet, and the flapper is silent. This is the closest it comes to a real sticks and bricks home toilet. I really, really liked the Aria Classic.
