First I would move the EA around in the attic to see if I could get as many channels there as in the bedroom. Sounds to me like you can get all the UHF channels that you want from the EA in the bedroom if you point it in different directions. I would be inclined to combine two of the EAs at 90 degrees in hopes of gathering all those stations. That appeals to me because it would more or less prove the principle behind the DB8e; that you can gang the UHF arrays mounted in the same horizontal plane and expect them to combine rather benignly.
It's a risk of buying another $20 antenna, but it would be an interesting result. Certainly you could outdo any result you get from that combo using a DB8e, but doing it on the cheap has some appeal.
Not sure what you mean by the 36degT antenna.
