Need Advice/Help

Hey everyone, need some advice. I live in a second floor apartment in Delaware.(Brand new, condo type apartments)
I am borrowing a friends AntennasDirect Clearstream 2V, for use indoors (of course), to see if I could get anything.

I am somewhere between 15-20 ft off the ground, my reports:

15FT - http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...f1f00ed79ba475
20FT - http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...f1f03078bcf71e

If I point the antenna to Philly, I get:
-----------------------------------------
WCAU 34 (10.1) NBC (Comes in Perfect)
KYW-TV 26 (3.1) CBS (Comes in Perfect)
WPSG-DT 32 (57.1) CW (Comes in Perfect)
WYBE 35 (35.1) Mind (Comes in Perfect)
WPPX-DT 31 (61.1) ION (Comes in Perfect)
WUVP-DT 29 (65.1) Uni (Comes in Perfect),(Don't care for this)
WTVE 25 (51.1) (Comes in Perfect),(Don't care for this)
WGTW-DT 27 (48.1) TBN (Comes in Perfect),(Don't care for this)
WPHL-DT 17 (17.1) MyNine (Comes in Perfect)
WTXF-TV 42 (29.1) Fox (Comes in Perfect)

If I point the antenna to Baltimore, I get:
----------------------------------------------
WMAR-TV 38 (2.1) ABC (Comes in Perfect)
WBAL-TV 11 (11.1) NBC (Comes in Pixilated, breaks, sometimes doesn't tune at all.)
WNUV-DT 40 (54.1) CW (Comes in Perfect)
WJZ-TV 13 (13.1) CBS (Comes in Perfect, but may have to move the antenna slightly sometimes)
WBFF 46 (45.1) Fox (Channel scanned with channel scan, but no picture at all)

As you can see, to get ABC, I have to point to Baltimore because I can't get WPVI-DT 6.1 with this antenna.
Also, when I point to Baltimore, some of the philly stations still tune in, like nbc, cbs, but some don't, like ION and Fox.

What I would like to get from Philly is:

WPVI-DT 6 (6.1) ABC (VHF-LO)
KJWP 2 (2.1) METV (VHF-LO)
WHYY-TV 12 (12.1) PBS (VHF-HI)

Even though I am in an apartment, I am willing to put an outdoor antenna indoors no matter how big or ugly it is. Which one(s) if any should I try? Should I just get myself a C2V?

Could I get greedy and get something like an Antennasdirect DB8e (because of the moveable panels) for UHF? Or would that be stupid to do? I would still need a VHF antenna.

Thanks for any help.
