Confirmation of equipment choice for Attic install

Hello intelligent people!

First of all, here's my report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...2df95718b4d224

In my old house, I had the winegard square shooter antenna, when I lived closer to the signal towers. I moved in the last year, and set up the same antenna and it did a decent job on a roof install. However, it was recently hit and destroyed by lightning, and now I'm looking for a replacement.

I have ordered an Antennas Direct DB4E antenna to install in the attic this time (I'm a bit gun-shy now--that #$%* was loud). What do you all think about the choice? Anything better/more cost effective out there for my location? http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=DB4E

Also, the home is about 30 foot tall, so an attic install would probably be at about 25 feet, roof install would be about 30 foot. I'm most interested in receiving channels between 79 and 115 degrees (to my east).

Thank you, knowledgeable people! And for those with morbid curiousity (and a thank you for your help), here's a couple photos of the remains of my old install, and the damaged grey cover that was shot across the yard: http://imgur.com/a/A31Te
