An Alhoon isn't so much a Lich as it is an undead Mind Flayer (meaning more resistances). Think of him more as a Mind Flayer/Vampire. A Lich is more powerful - an Alhoon doesn't have the spell power a Lich does.
On a related topic, from the Forgotten Realms books I've read, even Improved Illithids don't inspire the dread I'd come to expect from them. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Although, I must admit, when I first played through SoA & met The Hidden (before meeting any other Illithids, even after Windspear - just based on the NPC's I added), it struck a chord of terror in me - I was like "RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!!" even though he isn't a threat - now, I don't fear them much... [img]smile.gif[/img]
