The second is better, and I'd also leave out the comma.

The comma in the second (better) version.

Thank you for your replies. May I know your opinion of what's 'wrong' with the first? I wasn't fully comfortable with the first. I wonder if the comma is placed right, and I'm not quite sure whether there's a difference between "just" and "only" and which is more appropriate.

Hi CJ,

May I know why you would leave out the comma in the second?
