Well, two little things a Mage has going for them, both minor, but, important for some reasons to some folks. Warning, minor spoilers!

A Mage can be imported from BG. After using all of the books, a mage could potentially have better stats, and, because of this, slightly more options for a few select situations that a Sorcerer would not have. By ToB, a mage could have 20 con if rollled properly, possibly even higher, allowing for their own regeneration, not all that useful really, but, fun for role playing purposes. Also there is a good chance at having better wisdom for Wish spells.
Two, a Mage can legally get the Golden Pantaloons for the Big Metal Unit. With out cheating. Now, I don't have ToB, but, from what I have read, the Scorcher is a darn good weapon.
