I think the insertion loss going into the pre-amp would be about the same as the 75-foot coax loss, so likely would not help much.

I don't have any experience aiming the DB8e panels in different directions. It might be worth a try though. Other option is maybe to split the difference (aim between the two towers)? I've always had the most success when I bring a TV with me on the roof and figure things out in real time.
