It looks fine to me.
BTW. Over state did not have different gradient color. Only stroke color 
was changed from grey to white.

At the moment instead of using a base color with white/black/alpha gradients and blendModes, all gradients are coloured there is a deferent set for each state. Event though this is the case, and the over state uses different colours in its gradient, they are so close to the up gradients that you don't see any change on rollover.

There is a state missing compared to the FLA provided, due to the fact that although the colours are ever so slightly different, you can not see it with the eye so I have left it out, which now means the just see the base colour background for this state.
