I am having difficulty determining the beam width of each antenna. Are they 30 degrees? Are they both the same?

So I would use a combiner with the two antennas stacked? In my experience this hasn't worked well for me at all, In fact I lost all of the weak stations in the process.
I am concerned about overloading my amplifier with the powerful signals from Toronto. This is why the 91XG was suggested to me over the DB8E.
Basically I want to increase the ever so weak signal from WGRZ Buffalo, and lessen the dropouts, without affecting the other Buffalo stations.
I found that Toronto signals will always come in, even when the antenna is peaked at Buffalo.
Trouble is that I can't return the antenna if it doesn't work well for me so I want to pick the best one of the two.
