Help! Best blades for Oster 76 and how to get a smooth taper

Hi folks. A new Oster 76 clipper arrived on my doorstep and I'm glad I bought a tried and true work-horse. I'm going to try cutting my own hair because I'm busy with work and kids so cutting hair on my time seems convenient. Also I like the challenge.

My question is about blades. The clippers come with a #000 blade and a #1 blade. I also purchased a #1 1/2 Agion and a #2 non-Agion blade. Since I keep a tapered style cut and I like to keep it close, I'm planning to add a #1 A to fade the line between the #1 and the #1 1/2. I was shopping on Amazon for these blades and someone posted 6 months ago that Oster stopped making the Agion blades. I see them on the Oster website, and I thought these were the best blades to buy.

Are the Agion blades being phased out? What are the best series of blades to buy for this clipper? Finally, is my plan to fade using #000 -#1 -#1 A-#1 1/2 a good idea?

Thanks for any feedback :)
