your layout looks good to me.
AFAIK while the etchant is fresh it will work somewhat faster. it will slow down as it gets impregnated with more and more material (hence the need for temperature increase). reduce time in the solution perhaps (you surely figured this out)? thats what nice about fish tank heated etch vessels- constant conditions with time being the only variable.
with that i see some etch perfectly successful details in non heated, non agitated, just plain vessel.
on side note, i preparing to etch my own PCB , got the blanks and the solution, making final touches on the layout itself. instead of photoresist I will try toner transfer method to mask the board. will report of my experience
