Great you are gettin more aware of what you hear. You can trust your ears most o the time, instruments can tell you also, but the finest instruments we have is our ears :-)
Now if you use those fine instruments Im sure you will agree that if the cello were turned further up it would sound beautiful, but also steal the picture, and then the choir vocals would need a helpin hand too. So I choose to balance both at such relatively low lvl. For the outro I find the cello functions more like a padsound, and should be lvl´d as such.
This is open for discussion and I dont own the truth
These are just my thoughts ...

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