Another thing that works good for me is to set the infill top layer to "concentric". This seems to blend things together a little better.

I also need to calibrate my y axis belts, as I just printed out a part for a customer with 3mm dia. holes and they are noticeably egg shaped. I was fine on the bigger circles, but I know its gonna bug me if I don't fix it.

A lil more infill help along with more calibrations and messing with the flow rates.  Maybe this Silver filiment is is not high quality (despite claming high quality and higher price). I switched back to the Rio Rand Golden (lovely color FYI) and tweeked it for much better results.

This is the best I can get and it's not bad but still had some problems on the round corners.  Do you think this is about the best the default hot end can do? (mods: glass bed, Mk4 hot end holder, an anti-z back lash well nut, homemade case)

It looks like it needs a higher extrusion multiplier than your other filaments.  Print a hollow cube with 1 perimeter and check to see if the wall thickness matches the extrusion width Slic3r is using.

Also, you might consider increasing the amount of infill when you print this part so that new layers do not fall into the sparse infill that is printed below.

SD2, mostly stock Slic3r setting 1.5mm. Many of my prints are better then this, but this new Silver PLA seems to require more tweeks. I am just not sure what to tweek.
