Commas and adjectives

Hi. How do you think about the punctuation for these sentences? Personally I think no.s 3, 4, 7, 9, 10 and 11 are correctly puntuated with commas (not sure, though)

1. an old but rather quaint little store

2. an old, but rather quaint little store

3. an old, but rather quaint, little store

4. an old but quaint little store

5. a grand or somewhat pompous manner

6. a grand, or somewhat pompous manner

7. a grand, or somewhat pompous, manner

8. a grand or somewhat pompous physical manner

9. a grand, or somewhat pompous, physical manner

10. a grand or pompous physical manner

11. a grand or pompous manner
