Splitting Antenna Signal

I recently installed a Winegard 7697 along with an LNA-200 preamplifier in my attic. I live about 30 miles SW of the signal sources in Chicago.

My current setup has only one TV, which is the one that will be used most often. I am looking to add a 2nd TV in a bedroom right below that antenna and am trying to figure out the best way to split that while maintaining optimal signal quality at the main TV and at the newly wired bedroom TV.

Current Setup:
- Antenna
- 1' to PreAmp
- 6' across attic to power inserter
- 25' across attic to lower attic and 3 way splitter
- 50' down 1 1/2 floors to main TV

What is my best option for wiring the 2nd bedroom TV to maximize signal for that TV, but also maintain optimal quality for the main TV that's already wired?
- 35' run from splitter back across attic and down to bedroom under the antenna?
- Somehow split signal at antenna and run 10' down to bedroom TV?
- If splitting signal closer to antenna what and where is the best way to do that? Before pre-amp, or after? Before power, or after?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

John
