Tom,
 I use a direct connection for vias also, the only thing to watch
for is the distance from via to smd pin connecting trace & width.  And of course if you use via in pad, then you still need the thermal relief.

__________cut here______________

This discussion brings up another point....

Does it make sense to use thermal connections on vias?
Thermals were originally used on thru hole comps to increase
solderability of the leads, but now that is not necessary for SMT.
Is there any reason to use them for vias? I've been using direct connection to the inner planes.
