Thanks to both of you for taking the time and commenting.
For the backing vox I created a fake double track. As the chorus is repeated several times, this was just a matter of copy and paste and a bit of aligning. I think this works way better than a simple sample delay as you get essentially two different performances.
I am not at home right now, so I can not tell you for sure how much of the room mic I used, but iirc it was almost as high as the overheads. I kind of loved the sound of it, very full. The snare also got some plate reverb and a bit of distortion.
Speaking of distortion, I only read Mike's Mix Rescue after I did this mix. I used a bit of distortion on the guitars, but not in the way, Mike did. I used the good old "DaTube" from Cubase as an insert and set drive to 30%, which seems to warm things up without obvious distortion. I have not used that plugin in a while (way too many different plugins on my computer) and I just began to love it again.

What did you use to separate the backing vox across either side of the soundstage?
I used a sample delay on an aux and had it panned opposite to the main channel, but it seemed to make things a little 'blurry'. Yours are really clean.
I also like your snare - it has a nice attack and lots of body. Did you blend much of the room mic into the mix?
