XSL Transform : Choose block not choosing right variable

I am working on an xsl document which keeps loosing lines of an address. I had it fixed but seem to have broken it trying to fix an issue associated with the fix. Here is a sample from my code:

. 

  <addressLine2>
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="number($houseNameNumberNumericCharacterLength) &gt;= number($houseNameNumberNonNumericCharacterLength)">
                <xsl:value-of select="mad:Address/mad:AddressLineTwo"/>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:value-of select="$addressLineOne"/>
            </xsl:otherwise>                
        </xsl:choose>   
  </addressLine2>
  <addressLine3>
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="addressLine2 != '$addressLineOne'">
                <xsl:value-of select="$addressLineThree"/>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:value-of select="$addressLineTwo"/>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
  </addressLine3>
  <addressLine4>
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="addressLine3 = ($addressLineTwo)">
                <xsl:value-of select="$addressLineThree"/>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:value-of select="mad:Address/mad:AddressLineFour"/>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
  </addressLine4>

You can assume AddressLine2 is always mapped to the variable $addressLineOne. AddressLine2 is working fine. The problem I am having is address line 3. I test

when addressLine2 = $addressLineOne then choose value $addressLineThree

But the address comes out like this:

Line1: (mapped from houseNumberHouseName)
Line2: $AddressLineOne
Line3: $AddressLineThree
Line4: /

What i need is:

Line1: (mapped from houseNumberHouseName)
Line2: $AddressLineOne
Line3: $AddressLineTwo
Line4: $AddressLineThree

and when AddressLine1 is not mapped from houseNumberHouseName:

Line1: $AddressLineOne
Line2: $AddressLineTwo
Line3: $AddressLineThree
Line4: /

Can someone please point out why my choose selects are not working?

Thanks

Perhaps you can simplify like this:

<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="number($houseNameNumberNumericCharacterLength) &gt;= number($houseNameNumberNonNumericCharacterLength)">
        <addressLine2><xsl:value-of select="mad:Address/mad:AddressLineTwo"/></addressLine2>
        <addressLine3><xsl:value-of select="$addressLineThree"/></addressLine3>
        <addressLine4><xsl:value-of select="mad:Address/mad:AddressLineFour"/></addressLine4>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
        <addressLine2><xsl:value-of select="$addressLineOne"/></addressLine2>
        <addressLine3><xsl:value-of select="$addressLineTwo"/></addressLine3>
        <addressLine4><xsl:value-of select="$addressLineThree"/></addressLine4>
    </xsl:otherwise>                
</xsl:choose>
