That's pretty typical for me -- I set most of my balances with gain plug-ins, rather than with the faders, simply so that I can use the faders for automation in their region of highest resolution (around the unity gain mark).

I don't think that's the case, but you have to make sure you've loaded in the GGain and GFader plug-ins correctly to get my balance. As for overall level, remember that I always bounce the mix out for separate mastering-style processing -- although in this case the mastering processing wasn't tremendously heavy.
