You lost me on this one... My VHF channels are 20-30 higher than any of my UHF
Take a look at this drawing...

Here is an example of a UVSJ

If you have solid reception of all you VHF stations, don't spend money amplifying them. The loss through a UVSJ is less than that of a reversed splitter so you will likely not need to amplify the VHF side.

Because you are right on the edge with several UHF channels, I'm suggesting this arrangement as the means to maximize every bit of noise margin possible.
