Another good solid balance, uzilevi, and with a nice sense of bloom to the effects. I'd maybe rein in the high frequencies of some of the effects returns, or else just de-ess the sends a little, because I found the drum transients and vocal sibilants seem were spraying around in a slightly distracting way.

As you can tell from my sticky 'info' thread for this multitrack, I'm behind you all the way in your decision to brighten up the piano, because I think this can be done without any serious consequences in terms of obscuring the drums or vocals. However, I wonder whether you might have slightly overdone the EQ nonetheless, because I do find myself wanting a bit more of the low midrange warmth from the raw track.

In general, in fact, this is one area where I think I prefer the preview mix, as there's a definite earthiness about the overall mix texture there which feels like it's been a bit sanitised in your version. I imagine it may also be on account of your cutting rather a lot of low mids from the acoustic guitar as well. Of course, you'll have to work a little harder with automation if you reintroduce that information, because of the need to keep backing instruments out of the way of the vocals, but I think it'd be worth that extra effort.
