Honestly, I think it's worth it to have both even though it's expensive for two. I've tried having just one or the other and it's frustrating. About a quarter of their coverage overlaps, but it's the other three quarters that's of interest. I'm in York County but from eastern Maine, so I want eastern Maine coverage. PPH is oriented almost exclusively to Portland/Cumberland County plus decent statehouse coverage, while BDN does better statewide of the two and has good political coverage. Between NYT and WashPo for national coverage, I think you've picked the right one.
