Also, that +4 shield bonus doesn't go away when you're flat footed like a normal shield bonus (at least I don't see why it would as it's just hovering there blocking for you), and the kicker of negating completely a common 1st level attack spell that normaly is a no save, no avoiding attack.
...and not easier to use. As a Wizard/ Sorcerer you still need to come up with a way to get proficiency in either as the class allows for neither.
