Like the new guitar sound -- just the ticket! The vocals are cutting through better now, but I reckon you could probably add a gentle 2dB boost around 200Hz to the vocal, because it does still feel a touch thin. I'd also reckon another decibel of lead-vocal level overall would probably be good, and I'd recommend some stronger de-essing too. It's not the extra air effect that's causing the problem -- the sibilance was already too strong in your first-version mix, although it's not something I dwelt on specifically in the podcast discussion.
