Ryan,
Based on your water chemistry alone, you don't need a complete drain/refill. A 50% drain will get you where you want to be in terms of CYA. Before considering a full drain, you need to try to identify the cause of your stains. Read up HERE and you'll find some ways to identify common causes of staining. I would also recommend taking a sample to Leslie's to have your water tested. You'll only be interested in metal content. Don't let them sell you anything until you check back in.
The staining is not real evident in the photos. Can you provide a better description? What color, is the stained surface rough, slimey, or the same as surrounding areas?
