From what I gather, the wizard still has to prepare their spells beforehand while the sorcerer cast spontaneously. If you are referring to the sorcerer's ability to cast low-level spells in a higher level slot, that wasn't much of an advantage to begin with, and even less so now that spells can be traded out as you go up in level. You are right when you say that the sorcerer my have lost out slightly in the quantity of spells though. On the other hand, I never really bought any of the assertions that they were underpowered to begin with.What I'm more worried about is the ability of a high-level spellcasters to cast more 7th, 8th, and 9th level spells than they could under the slot system. Under the latter, a large number of low level spell slots had practically little utility at high-levels. If they did a straight slot to pp conversion, caster just got a huge boost because now they can funnel the equivilant of those low-level spells into more useful high-level spells. Its one of the things that lead to a lot of overstatements about how underpowered psions were originally. This is assuming of course that that they did a straight coversion, which might not be the case.</blockquote>
