The overall balance sounds a lot better to me 
The main balance issues I'm hearing now are with the bass guitar... it's eating up a lot of midrange content that other instruments, particularly the vocal, are wanting to occupy.
For the most part, your reverbs sound a bit better, too, but the ambience on the vocal is comb filtering the original signal, which is why you're having a hard time getting a nice sound. Basically it sounds like he's singing in a locker room or an untreated vocal booth, because the early reflections are almost instantaneous and very tonally similar to the main signal. Turn the reverb down a bit, up the predelay to maybe 50-60 ms, and lengthen the duration... and I'd highpass the reverb channel and give it a gentle high shelving cut.
If you mean the vocal on my mix... I used a gentle low shelving cut and a slight dip around 3000, and used a tape saturation emulator and a little compression to smooth it out a bit. There's a verb effect similar to the one I described to you and a subtle delay... they're both automated so that the levels don't cause frequency buildups when the mix gets busier. All of this is very, very subtle, though... the recording is excellent, so try and take it easy on the processing and I think you'll be surprised.
Much better, you're getting closer
