Which, would indicate that my current 10-year old VU-190 should have the same gain as these new UHF-only antennas that have my same design?

The difference in UHF gain won't be too great, a few dB. But you need every last bit of real antenna gain available to have any realistic hope of seeing the Canadian DTV signals.
