I agree, the larger Winegard HD7696P is a better option in this case. The extra gain and directivity may be helpful combating attenuation and reflections caused by the attic construction.
If the attic is a reasonably good reception site, you may be able to run with no amplifier. Resist the temptation to be sold on gain figures alone. If you prove the need for an amplifier, you'll want one that is not easily overloaded by strong signals.
(You need to have reliable reception with the antenna connected to one TV... no amp or splitter. If you then have trouble after adding a splitter, consider the Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp or the Channel Master CM-3410 distribution amplifier.)
