Mix Tips/Advice? - First Solid Mix

Dude, I loved "Instrumental 2", I can tell you're proud of "Intro Mix" and rightfully so, but the songwriting and production sounds better on Inst. 2 IMO!! the guitars and bass sound different than just the "joey preset" and zombass. Could you give me some insight on what's going on?

I thought some of the synths on the intro we'rent exactly my thing (specially the piano, different samples would help) but the synth in the breakdown was pretty interesting and the low end was pretty sweet!
