Hey Jacques,
the second version of the Mix seems better than the first, but I cant get it in my head that you kept a lot of things in Mono.
Pendulum likes to have some parts in nearly ONLY mono, which works great, but not if it's almost always mono - try some reverb & delay in stereo, really makes a difference!
In any case, the mix sounds a bit like you took out a lof ot mids, especially near the low-mids.
Critizism aside, the overall balance in volume seems quite legit, suits Drum & Bass, just the Piano seems to die a bit.
If to consider that you mixed this with headphones and an iPod speaker, it's rather good actually!
Just do yourself a favor and try to get access to some stereo speakers, it really does a lot to how you mix things!
With best regards, mate!
