Dude, even when you are a Mage, it is rare to have more than 5 types of spells in your spell slots, unless you enjoy being a Jack of all Trades and get plenty of spells but only being able to cast them once or twice each.
The beauty of the Sorcerer is that you will always have that spell, until you exhuast that particular spell level. You want 6 Breaches? A Sorcerer can do that, so can a Mage, but you see, the Mage needs to sacrifice his/her spell slots to do that, the Sorcerer does not. Therefore, the Sorcerer is more flexible in his usage of spells, the Mage is more flexible in his selection, but the Mage will never rival the Sorcerer in terms of firepower.
Sureeee, you can purely memorise offensive spells, but that would mean having no defensive spells. The Sorcerer however, can choose halfway through the battle to cast something else.
To be an effective Sorcerer though, you need to know what you will use.
If you are still unsure on spell selection though, I highly recommend that you stick to a Mage first. Sorcerers are for those who are very very comfortable with spell usage already.
