I think you suffer fro mover-dithering with your larger pieces, whilst it helps to add texture or blend colours, its not needed to this degree, sometimes less is more. Your smaller sprites look great so far though. You seem to have caught most of your problems yourself, your link is definitely suffering from the browns meshing it together, it makes it look like a lower quality sprite than it is, you shouldn't be afraid to use more highlights i think! I also like the look of the Higher Quality version, that may come out really well!
