It looks to me like due to all the co- channel and adjacent channel interference issues in your area that you may be best served by a 4 bay bowtie antenna pointed NE.

A preamp would cause overload so that's out.

Removing the reflector from the cs4 will likely reduce its gain to around 6dbd(8.15dbi) in two directions and you would be inviting the co- channel interference.

If it were me, I would get a DB4e antenna and aim it NE.

The DB4e has greater gain for when the leaves return yet still maintains 50 to 60 degree beamwidth so it looks to be the better choice
