Since their Catalyst v3 is an onestrutter now aswell and I think pretty much based on the Alpha, I wonder if they will continue the Alpha.

I don't see the logic in moving a one strut kite to the learners/beginners market with nothing to replace it, especially with increasing demand for one struts from foilers. Perhaps leaving room for the Alpha V2 to move 'up market' ...

Likely to be different performance between the catalyst and the alpha v2.
Just look at Airush. The ultra still lives as the high performance foil and surf kite even though the 'one' is a remarkably similar shape. Adjusting the bridles a bit can give you such performance changes that it can really change how the kite flies.
