Well, just a wild guess here, but it's going to be some time before they'll be able to see if the new 6386's match the old, both in terms of performance and production. Moreover, since they have a solution based on dual 12BA6's that Manley says matches the original, the new 6386's will have to beat those.
Remember, Manley probably can't go into production based on a sample. They'll need to be able to supply replacements for decades to come. The new ones may be a good replacement, but the demand for these world wide will still be tiny. It may not be commercially feasible to keep up.
