More expensive I expect because it won't be made in such large quantities
and the extra precautions neccessary when handling lead during the
manufacture will make it so.
Although all newly manufactured items will be required to have no lead
there is a lot of stuff around that has leaded solder and in order to
repair it you have to have leaded solder at your repair bench so it will
still be on sale for a few (maybe 5-10) years after.
