I remember MARS.EXE yes, but still Second Reality is one of the best demos ever that I have seen. I can remember the feeling that I had at Assembly'93 when it came from the screen. I was sitting right on front of those huge speakers very close to the screen. The music that has very high tones was coming all over and big figures on the screen filled my eyes.
That just simply was such a great experience and I cannot think the ways how 4KB MARS.EXE could blow my mind on the same way. Sure it's a great piece of art in it's own way, but cannot be compared to Second Reality. This is the reason why there are multiple categories in demo compos always.
In case you didn't know, members of the Future Crew are behind Remedy Entertainment (Max Payne, Alan Wake etc) and Futuremark (3DMark etc). If you look at demo compo entries around 1999-2000 you can see group called Maturefurk (=Futuremark) taking part, which includes members of the Future Crew.
And when it comes to these guys, you got to look their demo called Lapsus (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=130). In this one they have combined both categories that I discussed earlier. The whole thing looks super good and is calculated in real time with Amiga! It gave me the same chills than Second Reality and knowing what hardware was running behind it really stopped me for a while. Don't miss this one.
