Even though most of my stations are NW of me, I would still like to receive channel 19 which is SE of me. Would this antenna be capable of that, or would it work against me?

I'm not too concerned about the F/B ratio of the 7694, CH-19 is one of the stronger signals. I'm more concerned with the trees. You're in a situation similar to many others, needing to compromise between several competing factors. The added gain of the 7694 will help with the fixed component of foliage induced attenuation, and off axis multipath. It can't deal with fluctuating component of foliage induced attenuation that can give the tuner equalizer grief.
In a perfect world, you would have a nice tower that cleared all the trees. Then we would be talking about a more compact antenna.
