Hmm acutally i wanted to do a similar post but the other way round. Havent read all posts but:
Sorc used to have more spells /rest than mages. But due to the fact most spellslots at hg comes from items this advantage gets lost for the sorc. If you get you 40 level 9 spells per rest it does not matter if the sorc hast 44. If you have 10 over 6 it is important.
sorc used to have very good saves but with the legendary save feats even wiz can up their saves very high. And remember: sorc have to splash pal for their saves. Wizard even gets 4 more feats so they can get 2 legendary saves for free compared to the sorc. I know you can get them directly with those feats but you can take other caster feats you would have taken with normal feats.
The int artifact is way easier to get than the char one. And domination on it is very nice. I have 4 spare eyes in my vault but never seen the char one.
HG has very different areas where different spells are viable. And in addition some former useless spells got boosted to be useful. This all makes you want to have a lot spells what sorc does not have. You have to sacrifice the one or other neat spell. Because the spell slot progresstion does not continue in higher levels.
HG keeps changeing. Some spells used to be cool but suck tomorrow. Others get pimped and are a must-have now. All this makes a level 60 sorc weaker over time because they cant adopt and change their spells to the flavour of the month. Wiz just have all und just have to redo their book when a new run in added where this or that spell is needed or when an old spell is made more useful.
