The thing to remember is that the Magus class in and of itself was originally designed to fulfill the fantasy niche of the Eldritch Knight in a more updated and streamline package. Many archetypes are the result of attempts to wrestle grandfathered PrCs from past editions into a manageable form. The Eldritch Archer and to a smaller extent, Arrowsong Minstrel were attempts to rehash the spirit of Arcane Archer onto a new Pathfinder friendly chassis of mechanics.

Is there a particular reason you don't want to use Investigator class that came out last year in the Advance Class Guide? It's pretty much tailored made to do exactly what you're trying to accomplish.
