I'm pretty sure there will be no
4E character that is even remotely as complex as a
3E wizard.
It's probably more appropriate to compare the
4E 1st level characters with
3E 3rd level characters regarding their power level / complexity.
In
4E characters will stop gaining additional powers at a certain point, then they'll just replace existing powers with more powerful ones. So high level gameplay will not be more complex than low-level gameplay.
I also believe that players will quickly figure out which of their powers are good 'default' powers and which are 'conditional' powers. Some powers will be strictly better in most situations while other powers will be the best choice if the conditions are right. So, I doubt there'll be many situations where you have to choose between more than two or three different powers.
