Looks like we're all going the same way.
I'm using similar builds but with Monk instead of Rogue.
The only reason for this is to use the better set of Boots of Tumbling and Suni's gloves. Even with the Use Magic Device skill at max, I have never had another class able to use these items.
Together they give a nice bonus to AC over and above any other combination with Suni's gloves giving massive immunities (death magic, etc). This frees up your character to wear items like rings of fortitude which, with the Proving Grounds cloak, makes most spells bounce off (except for Harm - never been able to do anything about that!).
I do go with Neo on taking two levels of Monk or Rogue. I hate it when my characters get killed and taking a first Monk/Rogue level at, say, around level 8 can give quite a boost to armour, skills and immunities.
