So... I am continuing to try and get a grip on this lighting thing, and am once again asking you kids for some help and feed back. This time I have changed the back drop from the warm-gray to an off-white (not the Super-white, I wanted), so you may notice a difference in color between the table and the background. In any case, I nabbed some cameras and set up the lights snapped a few shots and have now brought them to you... please let me know what you think...
You could use more light bouncing forward. Were you using a light box?
Years go when I was doing this sort thing was using a light box - lighted each side and top and would sometimes put a white paper in front with a hole just big enough to get the lens thru. This would bounce some light forward and give more highlights in the front. Of course black is hard to light and you have to get some reflected light in somehow. This would help in 3 and 4.
Hope this helps!
BTW - Nice photos.

Cameras look like they are floating. I think I agree with Mackinawman on the light. At least in 3 and 4.
