Your two main markets are about 95 degrees apart, which is about the absolute worst place to have them for a single directional antenna, as there is likely a big null at 90 degrees. Unless you aim right between them, and the signals are strong enough to drive it reliably anyway, but then the VHF section is also 45 degrees off target, and those signals aren't as strong. The two antenna solution looks ideal to me if you want those three H-VHF stations, but it looks like the major networks, plus CW, Fox, and PBS, are all in the Boston area, and you could get them all with just the DB2e. You could always add the Y5-7-13 later, aimed at Providence, if you leave room on the mast.
