Thanks for both the general advice and your thoughts on the mix!
Please find below another mix where the snare is lowered (by finding a low level where it stand out from the rest of the most important parts of the mix - which is a good way to evaluate this - as you say). The initial level of the snare was a decision made because I, as you point out, think the snare drove the song with great energy. I might have over-done it a bit and especially on some systems/headphones... (where it might pop out a bit too protrusive). With the new version the song looses some of the power though, but as you point out. If it makes the song annoying it's a no go anyway.
BTW; Love the song either way!
