I agree, mostly because you can rest at any time (unlike the pnp game). You could always fight one tough fight, change your spells, rest, then fight the next fight. The extra castings of a sorcerer just means that you rest less often. And you do not need to use the stone of recall to rest. Clear a room, close the door, and rest. Saves money in the early stages. The game is very generous in this way (unlike BG2, where you were likely to wake up to uninvited guests).
You gain your higher level spells a level quicker (makes a difference). The high intelligence leads to a lot more skill points (you really don't need a high charisma to persuade when you have a bunch of skill points in it). You get bonus feats on top of that.
Once you get to higher levels, where you get a lot of spells regardless of whether you are a sorcerer or wizard, the difference will be less felt. While sorcerers do have a great advantage over BG2 in being able to unlearn spells, I just think that wizards have an overall advantage over sorcerers. Now, if you wanted to play a character that is purposely limited in their range of spells (i.e. a character that uses fire magic almost exclusively), then the sorcerer is your best pick. But if you are planning on having any significant amount of versatility, then pick the wizard.
