Hi Lammy. This is like you have commented on my thread, a different approach.
Generally I find this an impressive mix, as there is no squashing, and lots of wide dynamics. If we are having a contest you beat me by about 2 dB : ) Maybe some of the transient shaping on drums is too aggressive, but I prefer your mix in this respect to the preview mix which I think is too hot (on the drums)
The main thing I miss in your mix is the natural ambience of the room stereo track. Really as good as your artificial reverb is, it can't beat that room and those mics. Just listen to the exposed drum roll at around 0:28, your ambience and reverb are not as enveloping as the preview mix or mine.
So, for me I am getting the reverse of what you found with my mix, for me yours sounds too narrow, although your balance is excellent.
