If you use the gui version of emacs instead of the terminal version you can still use the scrollwheel.

I usually run 1 gui emacs instance with my main development environment and only use the terminal version when logged into remote machines.

You can use the mouse + scrollwheel in the terminal as well. Eval (xterm-mouse-mode).

I looked into those, but my preference for not ever leaving the home keys is trumping using the scroll wheel for now.

You are right to not do so. Describing what is not impossible is hardly advocacy, however. There are a few uses for allowing mouse in terminal emulated emacs of varying utility. Same with the GUI version, but just to get basic mouse/wheel functionality is not one of them.
