I'm suddenly thinking of Omnicron's assistants in the (animated) Transformers movie. :)

Solar has Str 28, Dex 20, Con 20, Int 23, Wis 25, Cha 25

We gave the seraph Str 40, Dex 25, Con 30, Int 30, Wis 32, Cha 34

We may still have a few more angels between the two in hierarchy yet to convert.

So maybe shave 2-4 points of each ability score (except maybe Dex)?
 





Added to Homebrews.

Since the "fiery sword" figures prominently, how about giving them the epic weapon property fiery blast, similar to the seraph's holy power?
