Default AC-Delco AGM battery no longer available?

Based on recommendations on this forum, I'm looking to replace the stock AC-Delco battery in my 2000 FRC. I wanted to go with the AC-Delco AGM battery (P/N 78P-7YR) but am told it has been discontinued. Other than the Optima Red Top, who else makes an AGM battery to fit the car? Can I get away with using the AC-Delco 75P-7YR?

Plenty of companies make a AMG or a leak proof battery, Interstate, Excide, Etc.

Yes, the Delco AGM was discontinued in 2003 due to high failure rates.

The Optima or Exide are both great choices for a reliable leakproof battery.
