Why not flood fill all unused areas with ground plane? I always flood both sides with ground plane. Are you having the board professionally made? Some of those traces seem a bit on the small side I think. Keeping everything above say 16mils can help with the etching process.

The layout tho looks fine.

you could flood most of the board but the outputs of the UCC's are differential and are supposed to be referenced to each other not ground so leave the ground out near the output side of the UCC's. You should put one UUC output on the top and the opposite right underneath it so the traces are directly above each other and are of equal length.

Are you saying my schematic is incorrect somewhere?

I have decided to have the board made professionally. I found a cheap single board manufacturer so the trace width should be fine.

I will be ordering the board sometime this week. When I get it back, the coil shall be born!
