Another option is to get an MCM-2475/6 and combine it with your dB4e with the RCA pre-amp which has separate inputs for UHF and VHF. Amplify and combine- two birds with one stone.
With the one DB4e antenna, I will sometimes point it to the north or to the south depending on the time of day/season. Both directions give me the same stations with different news feeds...the north is just not as reliable as the south.

I would prefer to simply point the DB4e south and get a separate VHF antenna to draw the real 13 and 9 stations, because the south is more reliable/better feed.

I'm still not sure if the MCM-2475 or MCM-2476 is needed for real 13 and 9. As I mentioned before, my gut tells me to order the 2476 with more gain because it's "better" but I understand that is not always the case.
