Several hundred ? My understanding is most stations changed to UHF when digital rolled in. Remember, "channel number" now has nothing to do with frequency.
Yes, UHF is more "line of sight" but the benefit for the consumer is a much smaller antenna.
I would just "write off" the VHF stations and get a taller mast instead of a larger reflector style antenna.
