Col,
I too agree that your voice is very good already on its own and doesn't need all that vocal processing; and indeed I liked the second version of Always only mind much more.
But I would go one step further and add that your vocals are so good that they deserve a better rhythm section; my feeling is that in both versions the drums were kind of bland and personally I would have preferred a "snappier" snare and -overall- more bite in all the percussions (and I know that the G-70 can deliver in this department).
Just a suggestion...
