At 0:11 and 0:20, I feel like the piano doubling up in a rhythmically same way as the lead is a bit rigid; maybe you could put chords there on the piano and skip the second note of every three note segment. If it's source, you'd still have the lead playing it.

The drums sound like the strongest element in the mix; in fact, they seem to be the main proponent to carrying the mix. 0:48~0:54 is literally just drums and a lead, so you might want to add more there (and in other places). Filler content would really spice up an arrangement with an already-stellar modified 4/4 drum rhythm.

Now that I think about it, I really only hear 5 (or is it 4?) instruments total. The two (or are there two copies of one lead for less phase-y polyphony?) leads, the bass, the drums, and the piano.

The one thing that I find awkward in the sequencing is the two heavy portamentos in a row at 1:50. The rest is pretty safely done or well-done.
