Surprise rounds aren't as easy to obtain as it seems unless your DM is very generous about it. Usually between other party members, and light sources, I find that enemies are usually aware of something amiss, and therefore not surprised. It may be worth it to go to level 7 in rogue for 2nd level spells and evasion. If you want the feat, go to 8. If the feat isn't as important, I would consider a level of cleric. This sounds weird at first, but you end up with a ton of versatility. The entire first level of clerics spells as part of your spell arsenal along with domain spells adds a lot of tricks for you to fall back on, and you don't lose any spell slots via multiclassing. ( Still end up with 4 1st and  2 2nd. ) Also you get level 1 domain benefits, which of course vary but can be quite useful.</blockquote>
