Need some metamagic feat advice

[Dr Grecko]

Hello Fellow Forum Friends,

I need a little help deciding my 10th and 11th level wizard feats. A little background. I'm a Foresight Diviner Spellbinder Archetype Wizard who likes to get up-close and personal to blast when needed. As such, here is my current and projected feat roll-out:

Magical Lineage - Dragon's Breath
Reactionary

1-Scribe Scroll
1-Toughness
3-Improved Initiative
5w-Heighten Spell
5-Dazing Spell
7-Leadership
9-Preferred Spell (Dragons Breath)

10w-(Rime Spell, Reach spell, ??)
11-(Rime Spell, Reach spell, ??)

13-Spell Penetration
15-Spell Perfection (Dragons Breath)
15w-Quicken Spell
17-Intensified Spell
19-Greater Spell Pen/Lingering Spell?
20-Focused Spell

As you can see I'm a little torn as to what exactly to pick for my 10th and 11th feats. I need at least 1 more metamagic feat before I can select Spell Perfection at 15, but I'm a bit torn on which one. I've read the guides, but I was looking for personal opinions.

Rime and Reach are the two that seem like the best choices right now. Rime would allow my dragons breath to entangle and with minimal cost due to magical lineage. However, a Rod would do the same thing, plus allow me to add Rime to cold ice strike without level adjustment when I get that spell.

Reach wouldn't effect dragons breath at all, but there are loads of utility spells that I think could benefit from the feat. A Rod could do the trick here too, but I would be limited to 1 range category increase, instead of 1 per spell level bump.

Maybe I'm just focusing too much on these two feats, and I know I could get both. What's everyone's thoughts? is one better than the other, is one better off as a Rod. Should I be considering something completely different with one of those feats?

Thanks in advance.

I think at those high levels, assuming you're not way below wealth by level, a one level increase metamagic feat is probably better as a rod. If you really want another metamagic feat, in terms of damage empower spell is very strong.

However, since you already have heighten and dazing, and plan to get quicken at level 15, you don't actually need to get another metamagic feat, as you could use quicken as the third metamagic feat that meets the prerequisite. That way, you could pick up (greater) spell penetration a bit sooner, or get spell focus to improve your DCs.
