Yes, as I posted earlier, Spousal would normally be targeted to raise her NDI up to about 45-50% of yours. She is already over 100%, she shouldn't be getting spousal.
However sometimes it can work out for you. You have negotiated a slightly lower than Table Child Support. Think about it as, you pay less CS, pay some SS and are able to use the SS for a tax deduction.
For your present numbers, just go for getting the SS eliminated based on comparitive NDI. But if you were negotiating privately, I would say offer to keep Spousal as is, and lower CS to the point that the combined amount is equal to Table CS. Then you pay out the same, but get the tax deduction.
My totally amateur opinion is that you would win in getting Spousal eliminated in court, but probably get CS raised up to Table amount.
