Default .22 mag: Worth it?

I recently purchased a single six with the interchangeable cylinders and bought a box of .22 mags just to see how the gun shot with them.

Mostly, they were a bit louder than the .22 LR and about twice as expensive.

I'm half considering picking up a .22 mag rifle, but don't know if it's worth it. It's almost as expensive to shoot them as a .223, assuming you can find bulk or surplus ammo, and not as powerful and explosive on impact.

With advent of the new .17 rimfires, will the .22 mag end up obsolete?
