If you can get a feat that adds 0 levels for +4 STR and CON, then a lot of spelllike abilities that would take most of it's summoning existance to cast, and which scale well with the level of the creature don't really seem as cool as, say, quickening a cloudkill or even the same level summon. I'd rather fight on half elemental than twice as many normals on the first turn. but in general, i agree there should be more metamagic. The rest seems decent. I didn't recall a huge difference in power level between Half-fey and half-elemental. Both were pretty boss. If I'm recalling incorrectly then forget me.
