I think you are right... the Grad ND probably would have kept the lights from getting blown out and would produce colors in the lights evened out with the reflections. That would have been difficult to know ahead of time that without processing your shots. Thanks for sharing - it was not only nice pictures, but I learned something that I can apply later.
