Playing an Acane Disciple alternate Cleric, and I'm wondering if things balance out.. On the surface, it seems I'm giving up a little too much to get what I'm getting. Can anyone put together an analysis of this?

losing:
1 step on hit die (d8 to d6)
cleric domains and the bonus spells/day that come with that
spontaneous casting of heal/harm
turning

gaining:
better class skills
2 skill points/level
magic domain as available spells
1 wizard/bard spell (of one level lower than highest casting level) per level

Also, how would this combine with cleric prestige classes? (especially ones with prestige domains)

Need more info... It sounds ok, but I need to actually see something bigger.
