Interesting shift in the balance here, in terms of bringing the bass much further up front -- and I like it too, because that part is interesting enough to really drive the song forward.
The vocals, guitars, and cymbals are getting into a rather abrasive pile-up in the 2-6kHz region, which makes it difficult to turn your version up without sand-papering my eardrums. I'd be a bit more selective about which part of this zone you give to which channels in the mix. Everything can't be as 'present' as everything else.
Another bold move with the drop chorus and stereo acoustic guitars at 2:22 -- nice creative thinking. In principle I reckon this could work really well, but they sound rather too big and too wide in your version for me, such that the chorus then feels rather small and narrow by comparison. Try giving those guitars less low end and panning them in a little.
