On the other side of the coin, if someone remixes it and the record comes out better, then I'm all for that.
The client likes the new mixes better but I strongly suspect that he does so because he trusts the mix engineer implicitly. I also think he's compelled to like him because he committed a load of money to him sight unheard. I believe that if the mix engineer had done something that I would have liked, the client would have raved about that.
