I would have chosen an Antennas Direct DB8E + Antennacraft Y10713 + RCA TVPRAMP1R preamplifier.

You have the right idea... Splitting the UHF aim. The Y10713 is needed to provide reliable High-VHF capability for real CH-7, 11 & 13.

I fear you'll find the HD8200 to be much too directional to provide simultaneous reception of both markets. It will also be a more efficient FM antenna... which could force you to take steps to reduce interference if there are strong FM signals in the air. This is an example of 'bigger isn't always better'.
