That's exactly what I would do too. Aim the Y10-7-13 at 91° for WABC, WPIX, WNJB, and sometimes WNET. Aim the 91XG at 194° for KYW, WPHL, and WCAU. Use a 7777 preamp in the separate UHF/VHF input mode.
The key to reliable reception will be tweaking the height of the antennas to make the weakest station as strong as possible. i.e., adjust the height of the 91XG for the strongest signal on WCAU. Adjust the height of the VHF antenna for the strongest signal on WNET. If another station on the list turns out to be weaker, optimize the antenna height for that station, or work on a compromise for all stations.
If one end of the house has issues, the other end may be better.
