Yes, this is much better.
EX29s are isolation headphones, and my experience is that isolation is usually inversely proportional with accuracy. The more isolation you get, the more hyped the bass tends to be, and like fhumble fhingaz mentioned, a rolled off low end (to protect your hearing.) Hearing is an important consideration here, too, because mixing in isolation phones can have you deafer than beethoven if you aren't careful... the tendency to keep turning it up is always a problem with phones, but on isolation phones that sound had nowhere to go but right in your ears.
I wouldn't worry about the Apogee too much as long as you're not looking to get really, really high impedance headphones like HD600s. I have a pair of AKG k240s for late night mixing, you can usually find them on sweetwater for about a hundred bucks, and they're quite accurate for the price... highly recommend.
Keep up the good work!
