Well, I'm the person who convinced MTL to start molding the acetyl in color to match the body paint of all the models and not just the coal hoppers, so it would be hypocritical if we didn't do the same! 

Have a chat with them about the combine, please. I get jealous every time I see the Z scale combines from AZL announced in yet another paint scheme.  Not to mention all the heavyweight sleeper variations that have been done in Z.

They may feel they have enough variety in the heavyweight product line at this point.  Although a combine is more likely than a third sleeper.

I think we are pretty fortunate, as many of the remaining popular Pullman plans can be kitbashed from the existing MTL models.  I personally won't complain, as two of the non-Pullman cars are based on NH prototypes and a third is based on a PRR prototype.
