Getting another Pleco?

Yes, I think you could add another midsize pleco. I would go with 2 more vampires. I think having multiple plecos of the same type leads to more interesting interactions between them, so you may see your plecos more often. My L204s are out and about defending territories, etc.
Yes another one(or 2) is fine...I like sunshine(gets big but still manageable), gold nugget, etc.
Also wanted to note that I do have two Bristle nose in there but there only about 5in maybe 6in full grown.
My LFS has snowball plecos right now but Im proubly gonna put that one in my 36G.

You could definately add another pleco or two. There are so many different types available, but personally I try to keep types that have similar dietary requirements. L007's are omnivores so the skys the limit. I find all plecos are territorial somewhat, but space usually eleviates problems and youve got plenty.
Okay so my LFS has this pleco and its got the leapord pattern about 10in not sure if it had a high fin but Im thinking about getting it any idea what it might be? They just call it a leapord pleco lol.

Unless you're getting a bigger tank in the future, get something else. PC has them growing to 18", which is the width of your current tank, so it would have trouble turning around.
The fish can turn around with no problem but at 18in, the fish would be so massive that it will dominate the tank...I love plecos but a monster pleco in a midsize tank doesn't look that good...
and the poop...the poop...
