If your current preamp is returnable, the Antennas Direct CPA-19 will have better overload resistance and a bit less noise.
You're not describing an overloaded amplifier, so I would hope for slight improvement based on the subtle improvement in amplifier noise figure. Don't expect a big change, I'm simply looking for ways to get the most from what you have to work with.
EMT is fine... it won't affect the performance of the antenna. EMT is not likely to be as strong, but the antenna is not too big, don't sweat it. Antenna mast will also be ferrous and have similar magnetic properties.
