I just edited my last post and added a picture but you got ahead of me 

I suppose one could always mount components on both sides of the board and compress it further. Would the soic version of the tle2426 be any smaller?
Use MANY Smaller caps in parallel. Much lower ESR than 1 big monster. Lots of soldering though.
I never noticed that the cap in the tomahawk is only rated for 6.3V with a 9V battery supply.
