Unless the MP3 was re-encoded or hosted where such occurs as part of the transfer, there should be no difference. My expectation/hope was that if we nailed the LUFs properly (which I did: 14.2 LUFS/0.5 peak) there would be no need to "re-MP3" an existing MP3. I'm not a conversion snob at all, but I do shy away from re-encoding MP3s just as a general IMHO/YMMV aside.
For awareness, I have not listened to the voting mixes yet so I can't say if mine changed or not.
EDIT: OK, I compared mine to what I uploaded, I can't get them aligned enough to try to null but regardless, swapping between the two, I'm not hearing enough differences for it to change how people would vote for it IMHO.
