Thanks, but I am really looking for a bidirectional sync.
For deleting I may be able to come up with a way to compare file listings and dates. Do something like if filex is older than last sync time and removed then remove file on other server. But I would like an more elegant "easy" way of doing this.

Rsync works in one direction.
That doesn't keep you from running it from both ends.
Your idea of using a staging area would work fine.
I do that in one direction on one of my servers; I left the extra fluff in case you nee to exclude files or limit the bandwidth:
rsync -avz --delete --rsh=ssh --stats --progress --password-file=/root/.rsyncpw
--bwlimit=500 --exclude='*Norton\ Ghost\ Backup*' root@192.168.0.103:/newdrive/*
 /newdrive
