Adobe Audition can do it very easily, faster than any other program I know.

My wall panels are hung from picture frame hooks.
My 4'x6' ceiling panel is hung from white cup hooks. There are six of them. A great trick I learned is to hang the panel (using small eye screw on the panel) from the ceiling with cable ties instead of wire or chain. Put a long cable tie through each eye screw on the panel and make a loop with the end pointing to the outside edge. Now hang the panel. Now you can cinch it up to the ceiling and get it nice and tight within an inch or two. Then just snip off the excess cable tie.
My 8' bass traps support their own weight by the frame. At the top of each I attached them to the wall: eye screw on the trap, small hook in the wall, cable tie between. Did the same thing cinching up the cable tie to make it tight. Now I can survive an earthquake with those things toppling over and damaging some other gear.
Also, the portable vocal booth is cool and if you treat your room you should have no problems. If it's still an issue, hanging a duvet/comforter BEHIND you when you sing will be incredibly effective at cutting out room reflections from the mic.

Two identical wood pieces 76 iches long are fastened by three bolts. You fit the blanket between the the two pieces of wood and screw the bolts tight to squeeze and hold the blanket. When you want to remove the blanket you loosen the squeeze on the bolts. I pounded two nails in the wall and two anchors to the pieces of wood and attached it to the wall. It hangs like a picture. Works great.
That's a totally kick ass idea!
I have a blanket I hang for doing vocals. It hangs from the ceiling in stead of the wall. I have a sewing machine so I just sewed on little loops on to the endge of the blanket. Hangs from cup hook thingies from the ceiling. You could easily do the same, but use some other kind of hook on the wall. But I must say, the idea above is super cool.

Punchier? Piano tone? Sure, but you can always find things to nit-pick about with any recording - even the ones that sell a million copies. Bottom line: killer vocalist and great songs. That's what really sells records more than anything.
I will point out that I love the quality of the lead vocal. You've shared the recording chain, I'm curious if you'd like to share what you did with it at mixdown.

Yup. The multitrack part of that program is pointless... a silly add-on. But the editor side is more than worth the price.
