Default Rebuke undead in place of a familiar?

Would it be balanced to trade the ability to have a familiar as a wizrd for the ability to rebuke undead? If not, what if the bonus metamagic feats were also sacrificed? Or, maybe rebuke dead at a lower level, like a paladin does?

Balance-wise this looks fine. The only potential problem I see would be the wizard then using the turn undead for something else (such as divine metamagic).

Rebuke Undead isn't too powerful so it would be fine. Divine Metamagic explicitly refers to divine spells only (if I remember it right) so a wizard couldn't use it.

Quite correct good sir.
