Eldritch Knight: expectations / early entry

Hi,

In the SLA reversal thread I noticed quite a lot of discussion about the Edlritch Knight prestige class. Some of it was about how the class was poorly designed and didn't achieve it's purpose, and some was about how the loss of an early entry made it ineffective.
This confused me, because the purpose of the class seems (to me) to be to fight better than a wizard (and be more durable as well), but retain higher level spell casting ability. In that sense, being at or near 3/4 BAB (yes it's lower at some levels, but anything higher than 1/2 is better at fighting than the wizard), and having access to all nine levels of spells achieves that purpose.
It was suggested by some that the class had too few features, which seems consistent with wizard (and fighter, to a degree) to me.
Early entry would certainly help with BAB progression, but not with lack of class features (as getting nothing early seems no better than getting nothing later).
What do you think the Eldritch Knight should be ideally? (As far as BAB, Casting ability, additional class features, so on)
Would a 3/4 BAB 9 level arcane caster class with more developed class features obsolete the 3/4 BAB 6 level casters?
Does early entry actually fix the current issues with the Eldritch Knight?

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
