Hello Tom, I think those new monitors will help a lot while still using the headphones for referencing. The big thing is listening to a lot music on them which will help gauge things.
AS for the mixes, I think for using head phone on the 1st mix it's not bad .The bass ,low tom and kic need some work as others mentioned already they gave me troubles also . I do think tho the 2nd mix is clearer than the 1st .I'm curious on how much you changed your EQing on the different instruments with the new monitors?
The one thing that is interesting is how you chose the panning of the guitars and the solo at the end in both mix's. These aren't my normal listing speakers but I think you are losing space and the groove by not spreading the main guitars out Lt and Rt. As for the solo at the end, for me in this song it just sounds kind of weird panning the solo Lt to RT when the guitars need to be pushing the end and the solo just down the middle. The drums seem a little wide to me on the second mix ,but you did say you were experimenting.
