Your army looks a lot like mine. Since the new SM codex (as well as the new DA codex) dropped it took a while for me to find the optimal way to field my marines. In the end I too chose the Strenguard & Gladius Strike Force, because of all the SM armies I have had over the years, this army finally feels and plays like a true space marine force.
So, I can't really think of any suggestions on how to improve the list, but I thought I'd post my own list here in case you want to see a similar army at 1750pts. Personally I've been more than happy with this army. Well, it doesn't have any anti-air, but these days it's hard to have everything I suppose...
GLADIUS STRIKE FORCE

Edit: Didn't notice this was actually a bit older thread originally. I don't know if you're still fielding or considering fielding this army but no matter... here's another Sterguard/Gladius example anyway. It really is a good base for an army.
