"Is that the actual deal? Reid can't be happy with that. lol"

Wrong. I think at this point the demonrats are realizing they have lost this battle. To accept the issue just keeping the filibuster option open for later will be a success for them. And frankly it would be. If the Republicans give them this deal I will be "deeply saddened".
It is entirely up to the DEMs. If they consent to the vote on the nominees, then there is no impetus to carry out the nuke.
Republicans won't have to "give them" that deal. This is the outcome I've predicted all along. The Dems, recognizing they're losing, will simply refrain from filibustering these nominees. With no filibuster, the pubbies can't invoke the nuke option...and Dems will have preserved it for the SCOTUS nomination.
If they do that and try to filibuster a SCOTUS justice...God help 'em.
