I thought it makes no sense to install a more elaborate and powerful antenna just to later add even more attenuation? Or am I missing something? 
The whole idea of directional antenna is the that it gives more gains overall but it give better selectivity and better attenuation of the signal from the stations that it not pointed to. It is very much not be necessary in your specific environment and how the stations are located round you. Get the graph of your stations, signal strength and the azimuths for you location and you will see what is going on.

We have a very good classical radio here - Polish Radio 2, they have quite a lot of life broadcasts both from Poland (where they do their own transmission) and abroad (live retransmissions, e.g. BBC proms). 
This is very good. In you Gdansk you are very far as far as FM concerned from Germany, Denmark or Czechoslovakia but you might get a good signal from Kaliningrad in case they rebroadcast some good Russian programing.  Typically for a typical commercial antenna and typical powers the 50-60 miles is a typical distance after witch the problems begun. If your local stations still do live retransmissions then you have a winning ticket for next few year unit they will stop. If you can then you might want to hook up with your broadcasts engenders who run the live shows and you can twick sound a bit…  I hope the quality music that they send over the air worth it…
