Bagan is not one temple it is thousands, and thus not comparable to the Angkor complex(which I spent 4 days at too.).........I didn't go on the hot air balloon ride, seemed way over priced, and my travel partner was concerned with safety,YMMV.
If anything I wouldn't spend longer than a day in Yangon as there is not that much to do. Myanmar is an interesting place enjoy......lots of temples, friendly people despite the repression, and a must see if have an interest in S.E.Asian culture and religion (as is Laos).
