Let's compare the effects of Endless Power between say, a Sorcerer and a Wizard.
By the time I qualify for Endless Power (being able to cast spells of 5th level), I have reached my apex of slots if I'm a Wiz (4 +1 for Specialist), as well as spells known as a Sorc (5).
If I'm a wizard, I'll add my Int Bonus to my number of slots; I don't think it's going to be less than +2.
Which means that, as a spontaneous caster, I can spam all of my 5 known level 1 spells all day. If I took the human alternate ability, I can even spam all (probably) 7 of my known level 1 spells.
As a wizard, however, I can spam a selection of 7 (or 8, as a specialist) level 1 spells, determined anew every day from the complete list of first level spells in my book.
Plus, unlike my Sorcerer buddy, I won't pay the casting time markup if channeling these through a Metamagic Rod.
Umm... is it just me, or is the whole affair another blow to the groins of spontaneous casters?
(Yes, I am aware that if I take this ability several times, I might get the advantage of adding meta'ed versions of all my low-level spells to my repertoire of spammable spells...)
Now, I admit that not every choice has to be of equal benefit for everyone... but I have yet to find mythic abilities that are of greater benefit to spontaneous casters than they are to prepared casters, instead of preferring prepared casters yet again.

Already under discussion, right here
Thanks for the info... the tile of that thread didn't point me into your direction, at first :)
