That is correct. To quote
Exploits, p. 47:
Magic can provide a DB, too. Only the best magical DB applies – such bonuses don't "stack."
While Deflect might be underpriced, Defending Shield does stack nicely. I'd compare the situation to paying 15 points for Combat Reflexes, for +1 to all active defenses (plus a bunch of other nice stuff), vs. paying 25 points for Enhanced Block, Enhanced Dodge, and Enhanced Parry: You get the second thing only after getting the first, cheaper one, and you stack them.
