The lesson that should be learned from all of this is that you should always create and archive two mixes when you add reverb, echo or any other time domain effect to your project -- one completely dry and the other with the effect(s) on it. That at least will allow for a revisit of the Dry Tracks in a future Mastering session.

The most common studio method is to leave the vocal completely dry. and bring out the reverb only to a separate track, and then mix to taste.
