If you decide to invest in an XG91, I would not take the 8200u down right away. Instead, I would search for a mounting location with a good view of the ESB (WCBS) while shielded from WFSB (perhaps by the structure of your house).
If that proved unsuccessful, try for the opposite, look for WFSB while shielded from the ESB WCBS signal.
In either case, I would not put a preamp or distribution amplifier on the XG91 while it's dedicated to reception of one of the real channel 33 transmissions.
Your location requires some extraordinary effort to get reliable reception of a CBS affiliate. You may find it necessary to have one antenna dedicated to reception of just one or just a few stations, plus the general use antenna.
Of course you can try using the XG91 as a replacement for the 8200u... but the 8200u is up there working well on other channels at this point and the XG91 will not provide CH-2 to 13 coverage either.
