Mix 2.0 sounds great, really like the wide sound you ended up with HB. I agree with DDL and Joe, using a bit of tape saturation and a a touch more buss comp would really glue it together nicely, as a suggestion try using a 4:1 ratio on your SSL buss comp with a 10 ms attack and 100 ms release and aim for about 2.5-4 dBs of reduction, that's my usual setting when I'm using it on my master buss.
The only other thing/things I can think of is that the electric guitar in the left channel is cool sounding albeit a touch too saturated for the picked sections, the distortion is really mushing together all the piking going on there and starts to feel like white noise. I found that using a mic preamp style saturation on the verge of breakup into a cab impulse worked quite well. The backup vocals could also be lowered a touch in the mix, otherwise they sound awesome.
My comments are more nitpick rather than anything major, really this is a great sounding mix.
Great work and cheers,

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
