Maqam hijaz 3 ways - can you tell the difference?

So with the maqamat, there's a lot of room for creativity, different variations, bringing in the flavour of other maqmat and so on. Here I'm reciting in maqam hijaz in 3 different ways. I want you to listen and try a few things with me - you can post your answers in the comments. No problem if you don't get it "right" - the idea is to use your ears and actively listen and just pay attention to what you're hearing.

02:30 hijaz the 2nd way
03:20 the third and final way
03:57 summary and some questions for you

Here are the questions to help guide your listening:
1) can you hear that all three examples overall are maqam hijaz?
2) can you tell that they're a bit different
3) how are they different? what am I doing differently especially at the beginning of the 2nd ayah?
