If your reception is viable, you can indeed spend quite a bit on a good antenna setup w/o concern for being over budget because you'll pay for it quickly since you aren't paying for cable anymore. One-time vs recurring is nice!
New services like Aereo could be a solution for your sort of situation. Aereo basically provides you with a streaming TV solution for $8-12/mth of your local stations. Think of it as renting an off-site TV antenna. It's not a subscription free model, but it's currently well below the price of basic cable. How long it will stay there, who knows. As for now, it's not made it out to the west coast yet. A physical antenna farm installation is required in the cities for their subscribers.
Good luck w/the install!
