He might be one or even two  levels behind after loading up the party with magical gear, creating a balance where the magic power he would of had in spells is instead worn by the party. Letting others pay the EXP bill will result in a party MUCH heavier in magical gear as the person with the feat won't be reluctant to creat items for which time is his only cost. Each party member may be a few 1000's of EXP behind [thus not even being one level behind in the fights they encounter], but this would hardly be as balancing as making sure one person [who had to pay a feat ] becomes the bottle neck through which EXP has to flow out off.</blockquote>
