That's not being a prick. That's keeping it real and dropping knowledge AND backing it up.

He's right though. Seriously, I got an axe fx, apogee ensemble, mac mini with a mother load of ram, Logic 9, a pair of BX8a monitors, ATH-m50 head phones, upgraded my pickups on my Ibanez 2228, JUST BOUGHT a MMJP7 12 (which I will post in another topic), countless plugins that I bought, and I'm still not happy with how my mixes sound. In fact I wish it sounded like the two samples you posted. Great job by the way.
I did invest in the systematic mix guide which did help me out a ton. Do what other books or videos do you recommend?

*raises hand*
I'm pretty sure the gear you use can greatly reduce the amount of work you end up doing. A noob is gonna sound like a noob no matter what they use if they don't know how to use what they have.
I'm still very much a recording noob. Not going to try to avoid that. However after I switched to some yamaha hs50ms instead of my beyerdynamic copies my mixing got a lot better quickly. However in saying that, I do definitely agree with the majority of what you say.
Edit: Your mixes are really good.
