At first glance you are in a fairly nice location. The only problem I see is possible interference to reception of the NBC affiliate, WMAQ. If not for that potential interference, I would recommend a smaller antenna.
The Antennas Direct DB-8 is a moderate to large antenna, with more gain than absolutely needed, but it has the ability to reject interfering signals from the sides and back, better than a smaller antenna. With the good signal levels to start with, and the gain of the larger antenna, you do not need a preamp even if you split the signal to a couple of sets. Aim toward 80° according to your compass.
The program lineup you would get is more complete than most, even though there will be a few off axis signals that will likely be missed or unreliable.
