I realize you asked this a while ago, but in case you are still interested, I would recommend Advaita Epistemology and Metaphysics: An Outline of Indian Non-Realism by Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad.
It is not quite like Siderits' text. It is not a sweeping overview of the history of Advaita philosophy the way that text is for Buddhism, but just focuses on a narrow set of questions and a select group of philosophers (just Shankara, Vacaspati Mishra, and Sri-harsha). Nonetheless, it is a rewarding read and presents a philosophically interesting account and defense of some core ideas of advaita. It is also a more modern text by a respected contemporary scholar, whereas Deutsch and Potter while undoubtedly excellent works of scholarship have become a bit dated as our understanding of the history of classical philosophy has matured.
The other work I would recommend is: Philosophy and Argument in Late Vedanta: Sri Harsa's Khandanakhandakhadya by PE Granoff. This is actually a primary source and is therefore not as good as a reference work. However, if what you want is a rigorous philosophical defense of Advaita this is one of the best. The text is a translation of the first part of Sriharsha's masterwork with an excellent running commentary in English by Granoff. It is a very demanding work but is just as rewarding.
Sriharsha's approach to Advaita is a bit unorthodox and has been somewhat marginalized in the history of Advaita's development, nonetheless this text is universally recognized as one of the most influential works in late classical Indian philosophy. It was one of the few texts in Indian philosophy to receive extensive commentaries not just by other Advaitins but also by rival philosophers (primarily navya nayyayikas) seeking to refute it. Indeed, it is often thought that Navya Nyaya was born out of an attempt to save Old Nyaya from Sri Harsha. It's also seeing something of a revival these days in western academic circles.
