Hi, Dan.
The original version sounds very good. Lots of reverb, but comes great in stereo through my monitors. Clear, balanced, and musical. Nice low end on the piano, balanced vocals, excellent leads. Nothing about it would make the think I'd need to change anything. Very nice!
That said, I like the "bounce" of the new version. As floyd jane said, there's more "life" there. It works well, but it would be nice if the vocals could be a bit more up front.
You might consider looking at
Clarity Vx DeReverb to cut the reverb on the vocals (and potentially add a different reverb).
If course, with Waves you never want to pay "full" price - they've got sales early and often. And they've got fully functioning demos to see if you like what it does... while you wait for a sale.

Very nice! The remix works really well.
