The Black Crown - Cage (2 excerpts - which is better ?)

[warlord62864]

Hi - 
   So here's 42 seconds from the end of the song, the loudest part.  This evening I rebalanced and  ended up with possibly a worse mix than I finished with yesterday.   I think I took a step backwards.  

 Which one do you think is better, excerpt 1 or 2 ?   And how does it monitor on your system ?

Thanks for your feedback.

Not much of a difference but id say #2
