I'm not trying to pull them in right now, but I think I would enjoy trying to see if I can pull them in after I've managed reliable reception of the UHF stations in the west.

The DB8e, (with reflector), has about the longest range, (gain) of almost all the other UHF antennas out there.
If you only want UHF from the west and VHF from the east, I'd put the DB8e on top aimed at your westerly stations and a VHF 4 feet below it aimed at your easterly stations then combine them with a UVSJ, or a pre-amp with a separate VHF/UHF inputs.
