The HBU55 has only 1 dB more gain then the HBU44.
No antenna gain advantage by going to the HBU55.
Stay with the HBU44.
_____________
The HBU55 has a narrower forward reception beam widith.
A narrower forward reception beam widith is not what is required for reception at your location.
The wider forward reception beam width of the HBU44 is what is requierd for reception at your location because the Tv stations are more widely spaced in the direction of the Hartford Tv stations.
The 300 degree magnetic compass aim direction , is a In Between aim direction of the groups of Tv stations in the Hartford area.

As always , the starting antenna aim direction is the --> starting antenna aim direction.
The antenna aim direction at your location can be adjusted by hand to find the best and final aim direction.
Most Digital Tv's have Signal Strength Meter and some Digital Tv's also have a Signal Quality Meter.
___________
A antenna rotator is not required for reception at your location.
Antenna rotators Are Not channel surfing friendly , must wait for antenna to rotate and there Will Be Domestic Situations about the antenna aim direction using a rotator.
A antenna rotator is the Very Last Action that one will do to get Tv reception.
Adding a second antenna is what is done if one antenna does not receive some Tv stations.
I AM NOT SAYING that a second antenna is required.

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative effect on Broadcast Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels , often named the 'Air Channels' or ' Antenna Channels' in the Tv Setup Menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the Air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.
Some Digital Tv's will Automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.
DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.
Go into the Tv Setup Menu and select 'Air Channels' ~ 'Antenna Channels'.
Scan for channels.
