Entreri, the Girdle of Frost Giant Strength is on a demon knight that you summon in the Kuo Tua dungeon of the Underdark. Place an animal sacrifice in front of the statue of Demogorgon and see what happens.

Ertai, I found that the sorcerer actually was LESS flexible and MORE limiting than the mage for all round play. The sorcerer excels the most as a battlemage, with Invocation type spells like Fireball, Chain Lightning, etc or Skull Traps, AbiDalzim etc. that you can use to deal out magical damage to an opponent or group of opponents in combat. Kind of an artillery mage who can dish out 5 chain lightnings in a row. In terms of flexibility the lack of spell choices really limit his effectiveness ex-combat. Once you get to the top of the cap you can only choose 2 level 8 spells, and it's at the top end of the spellcasting table that the really kickass spells are. He's best used to complement an existing mage, not replace him.

If you want to remove the cap and hack a powerful wizard, THEN the sorcerer's the way to go!
