To me, while the second is better, both are too dark, significantly lacking detail in the shadows.

Thank you for feedback. Perhaps this one is seasoned more to your taste? I want to preserve the darkness and tried to avoid a "city-sky"

I like both images, but there is some nasty banding and also noise in the shadows you should fix somehow.

All 3 versions are good for me. Not so sure about shadow detail or anything else that lurks there as there is enough impact in what is on show. But its all a matter of personal taste?
