There just are not that many good higher level offensive psionic powers (there are some). Psions can not get Globes of Invulnerability to totally protect them across the board from many lower level spells. Sorcerers can get it.Psions also lack illusions which does not sound like much, but it is very important to low to mid level Sorcerers (Mirror Image, Invisibility, Greater Invisibility) for survival. Psions also get Fly equivalents at higher levels (at level 7 for Nomads, at level 11 for most other psions), so the Sorcerer gets Fly as a 3rd level spell and most psions get it as a 6th level power.Fly / Greater Invisibility / Nondetection is a pretty strong combo that psions are hard pressed to match.When you do a comparison, it is not just spell/power levels. It is also what you can do with those spells and powers.No doubt about it. Psions are about as powerful as Sorcerers. But, I am not convinced that they are significantly more powerful than Sorcerers. My experience so far (and granted, I only have a 3rd level Psion) is that it is real easy to run out of PP in a single fight.</blockquote>
