Even if they are to be replaced (as rumored) by the Dimension line, I'd expect them (or at least some of them) to be still around for while. It normally takes some months to replace a whole line of ball - the distributors have to move them (and sell old stock), it does not happen over night. From the time they lingered, I'd expect the original Agent to be gone first, but that's just a guess.

And while they are being discontinued, the price drop may or may not be that big.  It really depends on how much the distributors have to move.

If they have a boatload of Agents to move you'll see a drop in cost, but if they don't have an overstock, the prices usually stay pretty much the same until they're gone.
