High LA abilities

I see, so it's just some interest and no particular problem or anything, which needs a solution.

Yep, in this case that is so.

However, note that the elder stone giant's bonus attribute array of +16 Str, +4 Dex, +8 Con, and +4 Cha is worth a +2. Of course, it's also attached to a Large creature; I suspect that the same array in a Medium creature might be a +3 (since the Large creature really should be fairly strong and tough).

Note that you have to put up with a lot of crappy 'giant' levels. Most 'monster' classes are terrible in comparison to PC classes.

Agreed - I am definitely thinking of lowering ECLs in my campaign.
