Why I like sorcerors:
I don't have to prepare anything and can cast any of my spells at any time. Therefore, I don't have to rest constantly and rememorize what I need to go into battle. Overall, better game flow.
Why I like mages:
Two words: Wild Mage.
I don't have ToB yet, but when I do, I have a mage from BG1 that I'm taking through BG2 to kit to a Wild Mage when I get ToB. You cast like a specialist (1 extra spell per level), but without an opposition school, instead there's a 5% (I think) chances that something random happens (good or bad). If you cast a fireball, it could be quadrupled in power, or it can accidently end up being centered on yourself. You could cast summon undead, but end up summoning a cow that falls on your target. The Wild Mage is a perfect cure for the perfectionist or power players. It'll get you back into the fun of the game...
