But for the rare odd exception, an antenna always does better when it has a clear and unobstructed view of the transmitting antenna.
An outdoor mounted HD7694P will have gain that together with the strong signal levels should leave you with enough power to drive over 100' of coax and a passive 4-way splitter. I envy your signal conditions.
FWIW, Coax loss can almost always be dealt with by using the appropriate type of amplifier. Typical RG-6 has less than 7 dB loss per 100'. A wet composition roof can attenuate 20 dB or more while also producing multipath like impairments.
