Help a newbie choose between 2 lenses! PLEASE lol!

I have an Olympus e-410 DSLR and am looking at getting a new lense that can zoom in further thatn my current one. I have found two that I am looking at, they are

This one...http://www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/ds..._1_4_0-5_6.htm

and this one http://www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/ds..._1_3_5-6_3.htm

I am relatively new to using a DSLR and figured the first one would be better for my purposes. I am looking for a lense I can use when out and about to get good close ups where my current lense won't zoom in far enough, I am currently using this one http://www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/ds..._1_3_5-5_6.htm will this other lense I am looking at be a significantly better zoom than my current one?

Can someone (with more knowledge than me!) tell me if I am correct in thinking that this lenses would be better suited for me? Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
