The CBS, Fox, and NBC are the ones I have the toughest time with. I am wondering if there is a better option for me than the C2MAX that would give me a more consistent signal to the four stations listed.
WFLX Fox and WPBF ABC are very strong on your report; you shouldn't have any trouble receiving them. Where is your C2MAX antenna located? Are there any trees in the signal path? Are you using a preamp?

WPTV NBC and WPEC CBS are weaker and on VHF-High channels. You might need an antenna that has more gain on channels 7-13 than the simple dipole for the C2MAX.

Another problem is that ABC is in a different direction than the other channels you want.
