I'm not sure who you talked to at Horizon but I would ask you to re-confirm your information.
There are many receivers at Horizon and perhaps there is a misunderstanding. The 945 is a current prooduct of Horizon and there are no plans to discontinue the 945 for many years.
Here is a link to the Horizon site for more product information.

Additionally, the main difference between the 940 and 945 is the SMT (Surface Mount Technology). SMT allows the use of smaller components hence reducing the potential for vibration type failures. The RF internals are very similar to the 940 and performance evaluations are identical.

Kind regards
