Yeah, it's hard to mix with headphones alright! I agree with Berni's tips here!
Just one thing do add: be aware that you shouldn't make mix decisions after a few hours working with the track. One common thing after long periods of working is that your sensitivity to higher frequencies decreases - most specially when working with headphones. So you'll feel tempted to compensate and get those higher frequencies back, thus producing a mix with extra sizzle, not really well balanced. Happens to all!
If you can manage some time during the day with the speakers, normal television levels will do (I think it's good to mix at lower levels myself), balance those levels again carefully with fresh ears. Working with bounced down groups of audio makes it easier to! Always better to correct it like this then to apply an EQ during Mastering!
Anyways, good job! Cheerios
