To simplify it, I find the comparison of flood vs spot light to be similar to small vs large antenna. The beam of a smaller antenna is wider, but not as far reaching; larger antenna, narrow but far reaching. So I'd think in your case, you'd want a bigger antenna since you want to target one cluster of channels many miles away.

Personally, I'd trust the Winegard or Channel Master that you've pointed out, over the Terk. You need some good gain numbers and a bigger antenna will do that for you. It's also best to get that gain with a quality antenna vs trying to boost a lesser signal. The good thing about OTA is that it's a one-time spend vs a monthly bill. You can do it up right and still virtually have it pay for itself in no time, vs subscriptions.
