This time I took this using my D7000 and 18-55mm kit lens with a tripod. Any improvement?

Photomatix is where you create your negative. Photoshop is where you develop the negative. It looks like you've taken the TIFF Photomatix creates, converted to JPEG, and uploaded here.

I don't think either image looks like a final product. The tone mapping has equalized the midtones and created a fairly flat image in #2. There should be a lot more depth in all the junk in the foreground. Try playing with contrast and local detail enhancement to bring out textures and such.

save it as a tiff then I reupload it into Lightroom.

I don't think you can compare the shots not having done them the same way. You could have easily done shot two with camera 1.
