Will this be in addition to the older style 4000 series or will there be a phase out of the older style?
The older style will be available while supplies last but be phased out.

do you anticipate any deals on the older style,
No. The new kits are going to be more expensive anyway, so the 4423 kits are still a great deal while they last. No reason to feel bad about recently purchasing a kit either. In spite of the upgraded specs, these really don't perform any better at all in streaming mode. And, the hookup logistics are not as simple.
Block mode performance is 5-8x better but in order to make use of that, you have to wait through the blank screen for the entire capture (maybe minutes) time before you stop the scope or you lose all. This will take some getting used to. There was no practical reason to use block mode past a one second capture time with the 4423 scope so that was just never an issue.
I think part of the reason for some of the changes in the input architecture was compliance with some of the Euro regulations.
This is surely a fine piece of scope. However...I'll shoot myself in the foot here, but I really don't see a really compelling reason to upgrade from the previous models.

Is there any news on syncing two Pico scopes with the same software yet?
Sorry, no.
