Very good point. There is a difference in the belief of god, but not in the influence that god has upon your life. Very well said.

The difference between a deist and agnostic is that a deist prefers to approach the problem by stepping out of the bound and work his way back in, while an agnostic prefers to work from within the system to expand the boarder outward. I can't really think of a clear way to express this so I am reduced to using an analogy.

I agree with you. It boils down to 'a priori knowledge'. The agnostic restricts themselves to the material plane and therefore requires empirical evidence. The deist is neutral to the material plane and therefore does not restrict themselves to the material plane to empirics.
