A couple of suggestions: You are limiting yourself a little by using a DIP16 There are many chips such as microcontrollers in larger packages. e.g. the Microchip PIC which is available in 8, 18, 20 28 pin packages and so on.
Obviously a 40 pin package is rather large, and I doubt if you are thinking along those lines, however you would increase the range of your board if you made the chip area able to take larger chips. I would certainly increase it to 18pin dip, and if the size is not such a problem up to 28pin. If you extend the size up to 20+ pins I would also make that area able to take both 0.3 and 0.6 spacing chips.
