Your report looks quite promising. Unfortunately, the negative effects of the building construction and surrounding obstacles such as other buildings or trees have not been factored into the reception prediction... There's simply is no database that provides that sort of detailed information.
Your best hope of reception from inside a building is to locate the antenna at a window that provides a view to the NE. If that view is obstructed by trees or a nearby building, you may not be able to achieve acceptable results. If you have a balcony that is for your exclusive use, a NE view from there would be even better than trying to aim through a window. (Some windows have a coating that reflects heat from the sun... These usually reflect radio waves as well. If so, you'll get poor reception results. )
Unless you can achieve nearly acceptable results using the antennas you've already bought, it's hard for me to recommend that you buy another antenna. However, if you do find that you get nearly acceptable results with the antenna(s) that you already own, an Antennas Direct CS2V may provide enough increased performance to justify it's purchase.

Reason: typo, NE... not NW
