I was surprised by the similarities between the 7507 and 7513. Why EOL
the one device that has a pleasing form factor ? There are MANY
providers who would be quite happy with ~ 600 mbps? That's a lot of
billings...

I think there are long-term contracts with certain Big Customers (tm)
that preclude EOLing the 7507 and the 7513, else they would be EOL as
well.  Just a guess though.

The AGS+ was manufactured in small quantities for many years after
commercial sales for all intents and purposes ceased, to support these
same customers.
