Homebrew Race Level Adjustment Question

I am converting a race I'm creating for a story I'm writing over to 3.5e D&D.

My vampires are psions in that they are a collective mental consciousness that inhabit fresh corpses and bestow psychic powers on them. I still have to figure out the level adjustment. The psionic powers granted to the corpse are formidable, but I've toned down the benefits of being a vampire to compensate. For instance, all ability scores that would be increased by becoming a vampire only get increased by +2; the skill bonuses they acquire are reduced to +4; they lose spider climb, alternate/gaseous form, energy drain, and children of the night, but they keep the damage reduction 10/magic and psionic (silver doesn't affect them in the same way), and they keep the fast healing.

Psionic powers are: Conceal Thoughts, Psionic Daze, Detect Psionics, Detect Remote Viewing, Disable, Empathy, Far Hand, Mind Thrust, Inflict Pain, Mind Trap, Correspond, Retrieve, Missive, Mass Missive, Precognition Offensive, Precognition Defensive, Cloud Mind, Id Insinuation, Detect Hostile Intent, Psionic Overland Flight, Telekinetic Force, Telekinetic Thrust, and Dispel Psionics

What would you guys suggest for LA on such a race?
