A quick update on my previous post: Today I got a confirmation from Leica Camera USA that the SL Typ 601 is not even close to being discontinued anytime soon (see also this related post from last month). I have been reporting for years when Leica products are listed as discontinued at various retailers and sometimes those listings are simply a mistake that gets fixed after a few days. The recent SL price drop was a strategic price adjustment (just like some other recent Leica offers), not an indication of an imminent release of a new SL model.
