I like your mix so much!
I also mixed the track but your version sounds more open and clear, especially the guitars and the vocals.
I would be really interested in the EQ settings you made with the guitars and vocals and maybe the FX you use.
Here you can listen to my mix:

Geez, it’s been a while since I did this mix. I’m not sure if I remember exactly what I did.
I usually end up High Passing guitars a bit. If the guitars seem muddy, I might cut 400-500hz, and if they are too ‘harsh’, then usually the problem is between 1.5k-5.5k. I tend to low pass them a bit too to try and get rid of unwanted ‘fizz’ if there’s too much.
I also High Pass vocals. Usually, my go-to plugin is JST Gain Reduction 2, but it’s a bit expensive. I find it best to compress the vocal as much as possible without being unnatural, and also using a multi band compressor to get rid of pokey words as well as esses.
For reverbs, I find it best in most cases to go with boxy, mid-heavy ones that have short time lengths. I don’t often use a lot of reverb unless I’m trying to use it as a spare effect with automation.
