You know, S&W corporate typically makes such model decisions based upon current marketing surveys and study groups on which they spend a lot of money.

In the past, the shorter grip/longer slide and longer grip/shorter slide combinations both had their proponents. If one perspective has been demonstrated to have more demand/appeal in recent months, then that's likely what's going to get the nod.

If it doesn't sell well, or the vagaries of the fickle commercial consumer market don't buy it in sufficient numbers in coming months, then you can bet another model will replace it.
