I own several Antennas Direct products and can recommend them highly. I have no experience with the look-alike versions.

If you are facing a significant issue of WAF (wife approval factor) the smaller 42XG is quite adequate and reasonable. I don't have an issue with the length of my 91XG that stands proudly above my roof.

Reliable reception starts with (and can fail with) the choice of antenna and it's placement. Up to this point, the antennas suggested should be up to the task. The only antenna that might be marginal in your application is the 751, mounted low.

The 91XG would be a premium solution. But the 42XG is not a comprise at all.

If you want to buy an amplifier and just can't wait... Consider the CM-3410. It's quite tolerant of strong signals. (I'm not convinced you'll need it though. If you do use it, it belongs inline between the antenna and splitter.)
