However, the lantern archon doesn't deserve +3 LA, I think. It's most comparable to Petals (MM3) who have LA +2. Petals don't have teleport and have weaker DR, but they have amazing ability scores so it's a bit of a wash (and at higher levels, the Petal pulls way ahead since SLAs don't make you special anymore).
Archon teleportation is Greater Teleport at will as a supernatural ability. That's going to be better than the Wizard's for quite a bit longer than two levels.

I don't think you can put the LA any lower on lantern archons without removing the teleport ability. It is very powerful.
