looks nice, DJ. I love that bankd of TO-220's.
One modest comment - I see that you have a bunch of 'no connect'. Personally, I usually connect them to a small test node - surface mount node is ok. It does 2 things: gives you a place to solder to in the event that you later find out you need to; during any rework applying heat to those pads will quickly wipe them off the board. Yeah, it'll take up some routing space - but not too much.
