Ahh, a sense of déjà vu!!

The problem with increasing the left/right ad borders is that you then need to do the top/bottom as well or it just looks wrong.

One this I did try previously that I seem to recall I liked but Marc wasn't so keen on (though maybe not for this reason) was including a solid title bar just below the header, right the way across. It also had a thin white border all round so it looked like a completely standalone entity. It gives just enough of a break that the columns no longer need to line up with the ads (though they should still look even).

Regards, Dave.
