Well, one must also take Weimer's "Improved" Mind Flayers into account....the ones that Project Force you back through locked doors, are Invisible half the time, have a THAC0 that can easily penetrate -17 AC, cast spells like Detonate, Disintegrate, and a fatal version of Emotion whenever they want to (and with 0 casting time, no less!), and are worth 0 EXP (because they Dimension Door away before you can actually kill them). Go ahead and wear the Helm of Sarevok for them, for all the good it'll do you.

Going back to Lilarcor, it does tend to lose its luster as you progress further in the game, but that's quite all right, since it's pretty much the very first +3 weapon you can get in the whole game. Mid- and late-game, Warriors will have moved on to things like Carsomyr, Soul Reaver, and the Silver Sword, but Bards might still want to hang on to Lilarcor, as their Saving Throws will never be good enough to ignore all those Charm and Chaos spells.
