Is there a reason for the letter spacing?
It's standard typographical practice, certainly since Robert Bringhurst's The Elements of Typographic Style, to add a little letter-spacing with small caps. I usually have 0.05em. If you're using true small caps it looks better, if just reduced caps it doesn't really help.
