Considering the DB8

Hi, I've been doing a bunch of reading and right now the DB8 seems like the best antenna for me. Here's my tvfool report:

I hope to get a few of the stations south of me with low NM, in the neighbourhood of -8 to -2 dB. Dare to dream.

I like the DB8 for it's wide angle and high gain (for it's price and size). I have two questions.

1) Is it ridiculous to hope I will see stations with such low NM? The DB8 looks like it has around 12 dB of gain at ch 33, which shows -9 dB NM on my report.

2) Is the following link outdated? Not sure if the problems with the balun outlined here have been fixed.
