Why Exemplar? The class sucks.

The only reason I can see for the one-level dip is Skill Mastery, so he probably wants it to auto-succeed on his Bluff checks against his summoned monsters.

I would rather buy potions of Glibness than do that. Using money is less important than using levels. Heck, even a wand of Divine insight would work.

I just read the feat Metamagic Song from Races of Stone...

This would seem to provide a viable alternative to Divine Metamagic, and would also save me a class level from either cloistered cleric or death delver.

Also, the point on exemplar is well made, and I am also reconsidering that.

Metamagic Song has that sucky sentence in its description: "You cannot use the Metamagic Song feat to add metamagic feats that would make the spell's effective level higher than the highest level of spell that you can cast normally." Something similar is, however, not in Divine Metamagic description. It might be an issue if you wanted to Persist things.
