They should probably go with the Hersbrucker, the red (for potential export exposure) and the Wrassler for the same reason. Limited edition/seasonals in bottles would improve their stock in my mind too.
Diacetly is not necessarily 'bad'. A little can be very pleasant in the right style - a lot of the Czech pilsners have a hint of diacetyl and it works really well. Granted if a beer is 'full' of it that's not good. It's been a while since I've had Hersbrucker but I thought it was a decent beer when I tried it - definitely the best of their lagers.
