Much better now and GND shield coverage is good. 1. - the advantage of the copper pour is that you can un-route the GND traces and let the pour to make connections - a thing I learned from Vasile Surducan. It does not work every time so you must check. But I think this matter only on CNC Router, to minimize operations... 2. - the outer diameter of via must be a little bigger than it is now because the drilling machine can be a little uncalibrated or can be a human operator mistake - a thing I learned from Olimex documentation (you must check at your PCB fab. house what is the minimum hole diameter for vias).
