do you think it might be worth considering a DB8e to point one panel at PBS (Rf 41) and the other panel at the Cape stations (Rf 12 and Rf 22)?

It might be worth a try to do that for 41 and 22. Aiming the two panels in different directions doesn't always work; you just have to try it. But, it has the best chance of working if the two directions are at right angles (90 degrees). In your case the difference is close at 100 degrees.
As far as 12 goes, it is a VHF-High channel and the DB8e isn't as good on VHF-High as it is on UHF. You would at least need to add the VHF Kit to the DB8e, with its dipole aimed broadside (perpendicular to) at 12. If that isn't enough gain for 12, you will need to substitute a VHF-High antenna with more gain like the MCM 30-2475 or 30-2476. Combine the DB8e with the VHF-antenna using a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner.
