A little work on the snare and a long fadeout, as James wanted in his posting!
Sounds very balanced to me, there's nothing out of place and everything is quite under control. But in general it sounds more like a demo than a finished mix. Now, it's unlikely I know better than you, so it'd be hard for me to pinpoint at the reasons, though I can try:

First, main reverb feels too boxy. I don't know how many tracks are sending to it, but the whole ambience is like a tape recorder on the floor (not that bad, but still boxy and roomy). There's a claustrophobic thing about the mix, I'd say it's because of that.
I can't tell if you replaced something else beside the snaredrum (there are misstriggers and removing the rimshot is a big no-no), but that it's a maybe too tight and synthish snare sound, makes the mix heavier and slower and takes a lot of air from it.
It's also quite a dark mix, summing to that 90's studio demo feeling.

As I said, I'm far from an expert, so take it all with a grain of salt.
Thank you, for your statement!
I think you´re right. Especially in cause of the snare!
I killed the trigger and tried to open up the whole thing. On the other hand I like a little bit of darkness (maybe it´s my psyche .......) ;-)
