CL isn't the same as spellcaster level. That is to say, you can increase your caster level, without increasing the maximum level of spells you can cast.
With that in mind, that's a hell of a house rule. You should change your tactics over to abusing it as much as possible - see how early you can pull off 9th level spells by pimping caster level. Hell, see how early you can pull off 9th level spells in multiple classes by pimping caster level.
