I enjoyed listening to your mix Eq. I like the atmospherics and the overall sound scape. Balance is good also. Although I understand why you went with the wide guitars, I feel you may have lost the intimate focused feel of the arpeggio part in doing so. Perhaps some extra body here could help help the cause. The other issue here for me is with the second lead guitar part which has become a little lost to the first. I feel some contrast here in one form or another is required. This will also aid the climatic structure of the song.
I do feel you have achieved your soft and smooth take on this song, but believe you would benefit from a drum lift as the song builds. Although the drum part does get busier as it progresses, it is sounding like it's getting left behind a bit.
Lastly Equilibrium, don't be afraid to push the dynamics with this one and allow it to breath a little. I see you mentioned "saturation" in your intro post and although it has it's place, how much and what to apply it to is can have a big impact to the mix for all the right or wrong reasons. Dynamics is great at softening a sound where as squashing it can have the revered effect.
Anyways, this is all subjective Equilibrium, but I hope you find these comments somewhat helpful.
