Maple fretboards don't only look better (although that is a very subjective matter of taste), my understanding is that they sound a little more balanced too, at least to my ears. Like someone said before, they should make such a Dellinger standard, as there seems to be a huge amount of interest. Maybe we should join forces and ask Caparison to make one...
Also, maple against a mahogany body sounds absolutely KILLER, it's the best combination you can get in terms of resonance and depth.
Rosewood feels a little raw at touch, not as smooth.

I'm not trying to get his exact same guitar, only some principles applied to the instrument which we both seem to dig. DiMarzio PUs and the maple board for instance. The fretboard radius and frets size would be surely different as everyone's hands are different (Romeo's are a little on the short side and sorta "chubby", mine long and bony à la Holdsworth), and also if I had the chance to choose a custom colour, I probably wouldn't pick white (maybe a flamed red or straight black).Why even bother copying Romeo? Get your own signature style and sound. Frickin kids.
