One last point on the Anomen vs. Viconia comparison: Don't assume that just because Anomen is Dual-classed and Viconia is a true Cleric, she has a "head-start" on him as far as Cleric levels are concerned--she doesn't.

My current project is a Chaotic party:
CN Wild Mage
Haer'Dalis
Jan
Valygar
Korgan
Anomen

After emerging from the Dungeon, I grabbed Korgan, Jan, Viconia, Valygar, and Haer'Dalis (as quickly as possible). Not counting our Travel Time to & from the Umar Hills, Viconia was in my party for about as long as it took to kill Mekrath and recruit Haer. At this point, I realized that "I can make Viconia (hrmph hrumph) in ToB, but I can make Anomen (hrmph hrumph) a whole lot sooner." So off we went to trade Viconia for Anomen. When I dropped Viconia, she was Level 9 or 10. Anomen, however, was already Level 11, and could cast 6th-Level spells. Do you have any idea how much help a single Aerial Servant can be in the Planar Prison (which is especially important if Haer'Dalis is included in your Party Plans)?
