I had never played either a Psionic or an Alchemist so my last party had both.
I found the Psionic incredibly powerful, but agree totally about the SP usage. On the other hand I found the Alchemist almost totally useless except for making money and casting Heal spells. In fact in terms of offensive casting I was using Acid Splash and Toxic Cloud (of whatever its called) almost exclusively until I got hold of the high level mass attack spells.
Its suprising but without someone with Wizardy and Divinity you play the game very differently. Defeating, for example, the contents of the temeple in the SE wilderness is a very different prospect without Magic Screen. Soul Shield and Element Shield don't cut it alone!
