I updated the link to "Moon Wine" in the above post with the newest version. I'm still wondering if I'm not getting the levels right, though. Dynamics are pretty extreme now, but I'm not sure if it's having the effect of enhancing depth, expression, and realism that I want. In listening to reference tracks I get the idea that things like percussion and brass are not actually louder in a literal sense, but set back in the mix in such a way that they are perceived as being louder. Part of the challenge might be coming from having to work at lower volumes and having an annoying habit of tweaking the volume on the speakers out of some phobia that someone will come knocking 
I could probably up the violins and violas as bit, too. I think the basses are plenty present, though.
