Your better option for FOX is Boston's WFXT. A 91XG aimed at 207 with a preamp should work fine for almost all the Boston stations.
Of course a rotor will help with reception of off-axis stations, but some HDTV sets have trouble with rotors. A better solution is combined antennas, but combining has practical limits.
If I lived in York, ME I'd install a 91XG aimed at Boston and a Y5-7-13 aimed at WMTW. I'd use a Winegard AP 2870 to couple the two antennas together. I'd rely on WMTW for local news and weather, the Boston stations for everything else. Would that miss anything important to you?
