Sorcerer and Metamagic

[Val'bryn2]

Is there a way for a sorcerer to be able to cast metamagic versions of their spells without increasing the casting time, apart from the arcane bloodline? I'd like to make a thematic sorcerer, specializing in some of his spells, but I don't want the arcane bloodline unless his theme is supposed to be more for raw magic

Preferred Spell would do it, but for only one spell. So will Spontaneous Metafocus. Spell Perfection is similar, but better (higher level though).
