The idea of antenna stacking would probably create too much of an eye-sore and the added weight would probably be too much for the rotor.
Only you are qualified to judge that. The dedicated stack would not mount on a rotator. It would need to have a fixed aim and would likely be optimized for receiving only one station.

I agree, particularly now that the stacking solution is not on the table, or at least, is a last resort.

WFSB will interfere with WCBS and vice versa. Co-channel interference when signal strength is so closely matched, would be expected to make reception of either signal difficult. That you have seen reception is actually a bit surprising, but speaks well of the 8200u's performance. (Both stations are transmitting on real channel 33. Be sure you are not confused by the virtual channel numbers.)
