You don't need ANY VHF reception, everything is UHF. Using an all channel or a combo band antenna when uncalled for simply increases your cost and makes the antenna physically larger and heavier by a factor of several times. In your case with the 8200 only the front UHF Yagi is doing any work, the rest of the antenna is dead weight and unnecessary size that has to be dealt with, something made much harder by parking the aircraft-carrier sized antenna in the attic.
