Some suggestions? Or Opinions? I don't know :) But I really do love what you have done...
So crazy enough I was actually in the middle of telling you how much I loved your other one but there were things that made it so I couldn't use it. When lo and behold you posted this one just a bit ago :) This one I can use! WOOHOO!

The lines on the textures are definitely much less distracting even without fertile or grass sprites. The grass EVER so much more believable even up close and personal even without the sprites on, though I really liked the color mix of the last one this one is still really good. Still have some texture line issues but nothing I can't overlook :) Good on you for that update!

I still wish the ruin areas around the highway wasn't so bright but that can't seem to be helped with the condensed factor? Not sure. The ruin part definitely is what makes this the west coast, I live in Idaho, I know that one! :)

I will say I did actually like and prefer the more rocky sand on the previous one. The sand on this one feels..... not as natural? Not fake per se just not right for this type. The rockier one felt very good and was the first thing I noticed was actually spot on as normally I don't like most people's sands.

Here is the ironic part. The rocky sand on your last one actually covered up the texture line issues and were barely noticeable, however on this one it accentuates the ones that you can't see as well with just the grass.

I also got rid of the rock sprites. Not sure if it is due to Daylight Classic but the shadows are very heavy on small raised areas with cliff textures. Tthe rock sprites look like bubbles on when they are raised on the sand (on grass too but not as noticeable) which is actually funny and at first I thought was oil but I know on my test map there isn't any oil there! LOL Took me a few to figure out what it was. Love the updated cliff texture.

Sorry for the lengthy post!! I wasn't even looking for this biome when I found yours by sheer accident but I live in this type of area and thought I would peek at it and it was so beautful that I actually decided I might change my biome for my new map but then got up close and personal and knew I couldn't. However everytime I looked at the horizon it was just perfect and would love to see this theme be even better LOL However most of your revisions are excellent if you don't mind an outsider's perspective and taste :)

Thank you for the long discussion post, your critique is great! Thank you for the insight and I agree with you on most of these, unfortunately the sand texture from previous was lost. I really liked it too and could not implement it without Theme Mixer 2. I plan on locating it or similar; I guess with this in mind I will attempt not an update but a final all in one theme to represent both.
