I prefer mix A too but it's not a runaway. Guenter's mix on the vocals were better as well as his build up as the song progressed. However, the bass seemed too busy for the song in mix B.

Having heard the original, your mix seemed to retain some of the familiarity of the original to me and even though you staggered instruments entering the song along the way, the song did not seem to build as a result. Maybe you should play with having orchestration begin earlier.

A similar style to your mix is played a lot on our local radio and those songs use horns a lot. Your chord progression is common in this area and trumpet/sax combo's are heard in nearly all the songs. Check out Josie's (Sundance) User Forum post from Jan. 2013 - "She's in Love" for a sample of the horn sound.

I like the song and either version works fine other than being contrasted against each other.
