Meteor Swarm for Shapechange, because Meteor Swarm is too easy to defend against and Shapechange just kicks ass :p . Switch Energy Drain for Time Stop - Maximized, Enpowered Enervation works just as well as Energy Drain. Those are just a few that pop out at me.

I think he made some great choices, especially when you consider the ranged sneak attacks he can make: 1st: shield, magic missile, mage armor, true strike, lesser electric orb 2nd: knock, see invisibility, invisibility, scortching ray, alter self 3rd: dispel magic, fly, vampiric touch, nondetection 4th: stoneskin, orb of force, dimensional anchor, enervation 5th: teleport, wall of force, sending, telekinesis 6th: legend lore, distintegrate, greater dispelling 7th: spell turning, Bigby's grasping hand, energy immunity 8th: mind blank, discern location, Otto's irresistable dance 9th: wish, foresight It all depends on what you want to do with your sorcerer. You'll notice that most of these spells are targeted, and the damaging spells allow for sneak attack damage as well. Further, some of these spells, like Otto's and force orb, allow for no save, and spells like mind blank and foresight render the subject immune to a great many things.
