Hi all,
since all the Magus guides I found are highly recommending to take Fly immediately as a level 3 spell I was wondering what are the actual advantages of Fly over Monstrous Physique I for a form with Fly speed. Specifically considering my magus would be in medium load by taking speed I would get

- 40ft speed instead of 30ft max from MP (good)
- possibility of casting it on others (situational)
- safe landing (very situational)

With MP I would get:
- 1-2 bonus to AC (good)
- +2 dex or str (good)
- 1-3 extra natural attacks depending on the form (though with -5 penalty, does it stack with spell combat penalty?) after the ones with weapon and spell combat (good or great if used with accurate strike to release multiple frostbite or other stacked charges)
- extra/better senses (situational)

It seems to me that this option should at least be discussed in the guides but it isn't, what am I missing? It seems good even for a dex build, though a str one could make better use of it as there aren't small flying monstrous humanoids unfortunately

Thanks!
