I will go ahead and purchase a pre-amp and install it in the next go-around.
Related questions:
Is a mid-power pre-amp what I need, since I am not trying to get edge signals?
When selecting a pre-amp is there a model that is known to be less likely to be "over-driven" by a single strong received signal? ( Note in my tvfool report that real channel 30 is nearby and is my strongest received signal.)
Any pre-amp recommendations?

Yes pointing up slightly has helped some people. Every situation is unique for sure.
Channel Master 7778 I've heard is good and the one I use is the Antennas Direct JUICE preamp. The Juice has a built in LTE filter and I purchased the FM filters separately. The Juice is also very resistive to overload. I'm sure you'll benefit from having one.
I still think that aiming the antenna without a preamp first gets you close on alignment. Also it will help you know if adding the preamp gives problems with certain channels. This helped me with aiming my antenna with multi-path problems.
