Financial Times or New York Times

I read the paper version of the Wall Street Journal daily and want to pick up either the NYT or FT on my Kindle mostly for international coverage. The Wall Street Journal is getting better since the News Corp acqusition but isn't quite there yet.

Does anyone have an opinion on which one would be a better compliment to the WSJ?

Thank you.

I'd rather have FT but then I'd take almost anything over NYT.
Is the FT on Kindle orange/salmon?!?! I am not sure I could read it in black and white!
For international coverage I'd recommend The International Herald Tribune. It's published 6 days a week and the subscription is only $9.99 a month. I find it complements my Washington Post and Washington Times nicely. (News from a very different perspective).
The IHT is a collaboration between the NYT and Washington Post, so that paper tends to pull content from both papers more often than not.
IHT is a pretty good paper.  I'm not subscribed, but I've read it enough to know that its quality. 
I wish they'd bring the Washington Times to Kindle. It's significantly better than most of the current offerings.

I've read the Washington Post every day for 35 years, I've been reading the IHT for a few months now. I've never seen any article that was in both. 90% of the stories in the IHT aren't even topics for the Post. Is the IHT where the Post is stashing all the reporters they've been laying off?

LBD: I buy the Washington Times for the sports section.
Personally I'd go with Financial Times over NY Times any weekday of the week :)
I'll probably just drop the NYT when my free trial expires and the FT will stay over.
