If it's helpful, I boosted the hell out of the electrics around 1000 to 3000 with a broad peak. Have you tried automating the Eq of the rhythm acoustics to accommodate whichever guitar is most important at any given time? I also put the electrics off to the side a bit when the nylon came in... Felt the nylon was more important and you don't have to sacrifice as much electric guitar tone that way.
Reverb automation is also a very good idea... Boost it during the more sparse sections to fill them out, and roll the back during the big sections/choruses to make room. It's easiest to do that when you're using a send, though.
Saturation is great and I love it, but it works by adding more harmonics to the signal, which can easily get out of hand if you're using a lot of it. You can also use this as a send effect, and eq the saturation channel. You can very surgically add harmonics without making things blurry in this way.
