It is my belief that Technic studded beams will always be around, as long as technic is around. There are too many advantages of studded beams over studless beams for them to go away. So for me that is a non-issue.

Studless beams have advantages over studded beams. The are narrower, in that you can hook two studless beams side by side with pins into adjacent holes in a studded beam. Cannot do that with studded beams.

So, they both are a good thing.

Studless plus studded beams give us *more* options, than just studded beams. This enriches the possibilities for MOCs. This is a good thing in my humble opinion.

Everyone can see that the two systems have their own advantages and that combining the two gives the advantages of both, but thats not the problem. The problem is that the 2003 sets had NO studded beams.

There are no 2003 TECHNIC sets that have studed beams. There certainly are non-TECHNIC sets that have them

This is a difficult statement to confirm or deny. Please note that there are very very few sets (beginning with 2002) which still have the TECHNIC moniker.

One of the 2004 World City police sets has an alternate model on the back of the box which clearly shows studded TECHNIC beams, so the items are still around, just not in the expected places.
