From what I've learned so far and I'm only in chapter three having done all the major quests except the unseeing eye and the Windspear Hills, it is a bonus being able to cast multiple versions of the same spell as opposed to memorising the same spell numerous times..
However:
1) you miss out on xp from learning spells-used to be a cornerstone of my strategy for getting characters up levels quickly.
2) You don't have the versatility of a pure mage for example I currently know two 5th level spells one is obviously breach and the other is true sight (I was pondering secret word) but basically I'm buggered if I fight a mage with spell protection because I can't get down his magical defences until I get another 5th level spell. So I've resorted to running around with secret word scrolls.
3) I've also had to take the decision to not learn fireball or cloud kill (lots of wands floating about) or invisibility of any sort because It does not fit in with the type of spells/tactics I'm going to be using. It gets kind of hard to get the right balance between protecting yourself from melee, magic and missile weapons and being able to knock down illusions, combat protections and spell shields on top of doing damage as a sorcerer because you don't have that many spells to choose from in the first place. If like me you like summoning foot soldiers it's even tougher.
However I know the spells I have got work well in most situations and there is less chance of me 'wasting' a spell slot with an obselete spell. but on balance I think I prefer mages rather than sorcerers. (especially when they were 15th level kensais before hand)
