i took a look at my project with the meters running to see what the loudness was, i.e. without compression. it's hot already and a lot more than i thought. looking at your last file post, you did well with what you got, congrats on retaining the dynamics they left us with. take that as an apology 
irrespective of the pan law, you would have found yourself compensating during mixing, e.g. if the L and R pans were out of kilter with the C material, you'd have tweaked. what you need to try and do perhaps, is retain the same RMS value between the two channels as close as possible, it will help avoid fatigue...and bringing the gtrs in will help, coupled with Haas. the problem with LCR is that in mono, the L and R channels drop in level from the downmix so it's best not to put any key instrument to an extreme for this reason because it will lose focus. pan law would have no impact on this effect from the audiences perspective by the way, just in case you might have wondered.
i like the contrast too
Thanks for sharing your vision.
