I haven't played much of any DE, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think the playstyle of the two would differ a good amount.
My idea was to create a spellcaster that had decent room for error without relying on kiting and luring. The jump and web shooting both have uses for escaping and fighting. (although really, being able to shoot webs more often would probably achieve the same affect)
It has no real focus on Conjuration but no penalty either, (as well as a boost to poison magic because it complements the abilities well) so it could function as a Mr. Shooty-Shoot Man if you wanted it to; but its aptitudes also support a more interesting caster.
The planned outcome was a species that could definitely be played as a simpler caster, but mainly served as a species with the potential to have a more unique style of play.
Of course, the way I put it together could be drastically different to the thing I want it to be. I don't know.
