You are not wrong to want to mount in the attic... The antenna life expectancy will be nearly unlimited. However, you need to be prepared for the possibility of disappointing results as most attics are subject to a variety of signal impairments. Roofing and insulating materials commonly attenuate or block signals significantly. The bottom line is, try it and see.
I agree with Tower Guy's suggestions, and would add the Winegard HD8200U and Channel Master Advantage 100 to the list for you to consider. Both of those antennas give you some possibility of seeing real channels 2 through 6 (something the 769XP types are not intended for). You would want to take the size of these antennas into consideration, they're large and may not fit in an attic, even a relatively large one.
I use an Antennas Direct DB8e and consider it to be among the best high-gain UHF antennas available. The CS5 is also an excellent antenna for real channels 7-13 (no intentional CH 2-6 capability though).

Reason: added caution re. antenna size + AD comments
