The bard's advancement rate is closer to 2/3-- and a "massaged" 2/3 at that. The 3/4 advancement rate tops a pure bard out at CL15-- 8th level spells.
You've chosen to err on the side of fewer known spells; I went the opposite end. In your model, a Cleric or Druid loses access to "all spells" known and starts picking them up like a Wizard. Is one model "better" than the other? Dunno. They're both radically different from the status quo, so somebody will squeal one way or the other.
I'm on vacation but I'll see if I can put together a PDF with my notes to help.
