The Amulet of Power takes care of the silence problem, and you get it relatively early in the game.
Holy Smite *is* scary... But not if you're good. ('Course, then Unholy Blight is scary. Miscast Magic is scary... but not if you make your save. It's still scary, though.)
You can dispel Iron Skins and SoTA with Spellstrike, can't you? (And mages get Spell Trap, too)
Nature's Beauty... Umm.. erm.... you got me there. That is the ultimate spell. If only the casting time wasn't so long...
And if we were considering druids, we'd have to mention the plethora of insect-related spells... but we're not.
I used to think the cleric was superior... but having played both extensively, I'm going to have to throw my support behind the mage.
