some great stuff in there.
 
I would say: keep this one as is, for "generalist" applications,
but also make a couple of short versions tailored to specialist work (simulation/fx , animation, lighting/shading) and avoid any logo/packshot work in those.
Put them all on one DVD, with a very clear menu, where one can easily select the relevant reel.
 
When the reviewer likes the one he was interested in, he'll naturally go and look at the other reels, but the all-important-first-impression would have been made - so lengthiness should not damage any more. On a second review the full reel should actually strengthen your case: "look, the fx reel was good, and the full reel shows he can do plenty of other stuff too."  Thats a very solid basis me thinks.
