Actually, leaving aside the roleplaying aspect, in which of course you get her back, then consider: You really don't need a better thief than Imoen. I defy anyone to mention a situation where Jan was able to do something and Immy couldn't, esp. if she has the gloves of pickpocketing. P.S. If you don't wait until the end of the game to go and get her, she's very close to Nal. I always go get her right after I do Alan Linvail's quests, and then she rocks, right through the end of Throne Of Bhaal. PPs. Her INT is higher than Jan's, making it easier for her to learn spells. PPPS. Her character looks better on the screen. Jan's is just plain UGLY.
