11 years ago I installed a pair of Antennas Direct C-2 antennas (a predecessor to the 2MAX) on a tower located on a hilltop. Those antennas are still in use.
The channel master distribution amplifier that you mentioned would help the reception of a few of the weaker and off-axis stations. I would suggest that you keep the length of the RG-6 between the antenna and the amplifier as short as possible.
