I don't like the fact that you can change your Eidolons every new level. To me it kills the idea that you are bonded to that creature if whenever you want to (each new level) you can make it different. I think if this was changed the Summon monster thing would not be such a big deal. You would have your eidolon that is special to you, then you could summon other creatures in other situations. You could scal point that allow for evolution, but changing physical qualities each level that seems kind of messed up...Thoughts?
Evolution Pool: The value given in this column is
the total number of points in the eidolon’s evolution
pool. Points from this pool can be spent on a wide
variety of modifications and upgrades that add new
abilities, attacks, and powers to the eidolon. Whenever
the summoner gains a level, the number in this pool
increases and the summoner can spend these points to
change the abilities of the eidolon. These choices are not
set. The summoner can change them whenever he gains
a level (and through the transmogrify spell).
Or am I not reading it right?

I think it makes sense. I look at it as you aren't really summoning a creatures physical form to the material plane you are summoning the essence of a creature and using primal energy or astral gunk to construct a body for that essence to inhabit while it is on the prime material plane. It is always the same creature, just a different packaging.
