Lead problem - which one??

Ever had a problem when you can't decide which of the melodies in your track should be the lead focus?

I have uploaded this track I'm working on perhaps someone can take a listen? I'm undecided in the break whether to focus the lead on the Virus Arp in the background or the Vanguard synth which I'm currently using.

Feedback welcome...

just had a listen and i think that after the break you need to add something to widen up the sounds after the break , Big room it if you will.

good tune btw , keep us posted

Cheers for listening and comments. When you say add something do you mean add an effect to the current lead melody or add an additional instrument? Big rooming it sounds like a great plan. What does it mean?

Put some serious reverb on it, with a high room size setting. I would think this is what he is referring to... Just to give it some atosphere, and to fatten it up.

This seems to be my downfall when it comes to making my tracks sound more professional. Would you say add reverb to the whole track or just certain elements e.g. the lead and perhaps the percs? I tried adding some reverb on the percs and not sure if it sounds better!! Perhaps its best if I finish the track, convert the layers to wav and start playing with more effects? right now it's all vst and Reason realtime.
