The lesson learned from viewing this transformation: Do not put the tree in a bonsai pot too soon. You obviously did most of the work with the tree still in a large training pot. The first bonsai pot was too large for the tree, which is exactly what we are all told to do. When the tree was at the point of needing final ramification and light pruning you transplanted into a smaller pot.

Excellent!
