I might recommend cutting back on the dailies unless you're weeding out duplicative articles -- don't forget that secondary sourcing is impressive (or was anyway). I would also recommend looking at longer pieces in:

The Washington Monthly (my current favorite longer piece)
Mother Jones (good for DX stuff if you need a contrarian/leftist viewpoint)
The Nation (great for DX stuff and FX stuff, again with a leftist slant)
The American Prospect
The Atlantic Monthly

And of course Time and Newsweek.

I would also just stop with the CSMs altogether unless you find that you're getting a lot of "small" country stuff. For Business Week -- I never found it to be really useful, esp. since you have the FT on your list. With the Guardian, you're fine just going through their opinion/commentary sections; same with the Washington Post if you're getting the NYT. You might want to add an occasional survey of the Singapore Straits-Times and the Japan Times or Daily Yomiuri (english edition). One of the latter two is especially important because Japanese domestic politics is poorly covered, even in the British media.

It looks like I'm complaining, but I'm not. You guys seem to be doing a really good job, and I look forward to seeing y'all in action.
