This mix was a great improvement but now we're into Goldilocks territory with the acoustic guitar. Sounded like there was a bit too much of it now. Good luck with that. It kinda drove me nuts trying to get it to settle just right. 
You might try applying some more compression on it and see if it makes it easier to match it up to the piano and rhythm guitar. Might also try to adjust your EQ curve to carve out a little more of that pick noise and deal with some of those transient tones that come from it.
Regarding reverb, obviously you're not a shower singer or you'd be totally in love with it.
If applied correctly, it can make a big difference in a tune. Sometimes even going overboard isn't a bad thing. Listen to Judas Priest's "Freewheel Burning." Heavy reverb on the vocals and rhythm guitar (as well as snare and drum overheads, of course) is a large part of the shaping of the character of that tune. For most tunes, though, the best advise seems to be "turn up the reverb to the point where can just hear it and then back it off a hair. In that school of thought, reverb is best when you aren't really aware it's there until you remove it and things fall flat on you.
