Hey Lou! Fun to hear that you’re doing this. I just spent the last two days tweaking out a Betterlight based reproduction system on CO. As for polarization I like to make at least three profiles, CrossPolarized, HalfPolarized and no polarization. I think there is no one way of doing it and different situations call for different lighting and polarization configurations.

My first thought here is that it’s your cross polarization that's wacking up the contrast and colors. LR’s tools are designed for an entirely different situation. Make sure you’re working with profiles for your polarization configuration. Still, cross polarized images will be quite contrasty. Play with al three configurations. I know we share enthusiasm for extensive testing :-]
IMO, the big variable in this kind of workflow is the lighting. Think outside the box. Go beyond 45° degree lighting. I tend to prefer oblique angles that bring out texture. Of course 3D objects require a lot more lighting creativity than 2D work…
Have fun - that’s great exercise!
