We did Shore Line East a few years ago, and have done the MNRR New Haven Line & its branches over the years as well. That is not to say we can't return, but I'd rather ride those as part of a New York based Fest than coming down from Boston to do it.how about take NE regional 99 to new haven ride Conn dot commuter or metro north and then take 194 or 132 back.
Also, there are a few good reasons to stay off the NEC on a Sunday. It's peak fares and peak travel, which puts empty seats (read near windows and electrical outlets) at a premium.

Not to say this is the final choice, but it does allow some to get the transit route coverage they so desire, the Brigham Circle issue notwithstanding. If we were to do the previously suggested Fitchburg commuter line, there's also the transfer at Porter Square between it and the Red Line.

I won't make it public right now because I'm still refining it, but arbitrarily I had us starting around 9:30 AM and finishing around 6 PM, with a lunch break between 12:40 PM and 2:04 PM. To minimize travel after dark, I could move things up about 40-45 minutes earlier, so that we don't get to the lunch stop at a shopping mall much before 12 Noon. That would mean starting roughly 8:45 AM and completing the day about 5:15 PM.
I'll still also be working out an option for Fitchburg and/or Rockport. My gut feeling is to hold off on Fitchburg, because of the fact that this line is being extended a couple of miles on its western end, so we can catch that line including its new trackage on the next Boston visit.
