So an Isochron Scepter enters the battlefield,

Card Name:
Isochron Scepter
Mana Cost:
2
Converted Mana Cost:
2

Types:
Artifact
Card Text:
Imprint — When Isochron Scepter enters the battlefield, you may exile an instant card with converted mana cost 2 or less from your hand.
2, Tap: You may copy the exiled card. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

I respond to it's ETB with Strionic Resonator, or by blinking it out with an effect like March of the Machines and Restoration Angel.

Card Name:
Strionic Resonator
Mana Cost:
2
Converted Mana Cost:
2

Types:
Artifact
Card Text:
2, Tap: Copy target triggered ability you control. You may choose new targets for the copy. (A triggered ability uses the words "when," "whenever," or "at.")

When I activate Isochron Scepter's activated ability, I'm now getting to cast both imprinted cards for free?

I don't think the March of the Machines/Restoration Angle will affect this question, as Isochron Scepter would be a new object...

But on the MTG site, they explained the new imprint rules using the specpter wizard guy that imprints an instant.  Both cards would be cast for the total cost of the cards (for scepter guy) and for just 2 mana for Isochron Scepter.
