I can't understand why they would do that. If they do in fact plan to replace the M2/SBE2 line, it would make no sense to do away with the original Vinci. I see the Vinci as a replacement for the M2 and Super Vinci a replacement for the SBE2 if that be the case. You also have a Cordoba and Sport models based on the M2/SBE2 design. So what sense would it make to do away with the Vinci? Not everyone cares to shoot 3.5 inch shells.
