Thanks all for the comments, much appreciated. Listening back I definitely agree re the massively over-bearing cymbals. I've cleared this mix off my computer now onto a back-up drive as I was running seriously short of space and needed to make space for some recording work of the type that actually pays... but if I have time in future I'll bring it back and tweak. In the meantime I'll bear in mind comments re treble in general for future - I was certainly guilty of the 1.5dB top-end lift at "mastering" (in inverted commas as I recognise it's only a vague approximation of the professionally done process) thinking "ooh that sounds brighter! It must be better!" .... err, no. So I'll try and avoid that in future unless careful referencing / spectral analysis of other well-produced tracks suggests it would be genuinely appropriate.
Thanks again for the feedback, we're all learning eh?
