May be my ears but I dont hear a mud fight in the middle. I hear a very natural soundin mix, for good and for worse. I find myself sittin in a pub with an acoustic band playing, and it sounds very natural to me - even the accordeon player moves to the middle of stage when he start playin ... The violins nearly drown the singer but thats what they do hearin live acoustic music isnt it. Esecially when singin so soft.
In my mix I went for a more pop sound, I think ridin or compressin the vocal harder is essential here. That is if you are not after a sound picture similar to a 2 track XY recordin of an acoustic band, which I actually think you were aimin for and that bein the case you succeeded very well !

Old ears, old gear, little boy inside love music and sounds and my wife, not necessarily in that order
