So, switching from vancian to some sort of spell points might not be too big of an advantage/disadvantage if well balanced.
We should just care about a more or less balanced core, the wizard, the fighter, the rogue and the cleric all with a job where they excell.
For the rest: "interesting" is way more important than "balanced" Of course, there shouldn´t be a druid, being better than anyone else in every regard... except, when it might end in an interesting adventure...
So the concept of absolute balance needs to be thrown overboard (trap choices however should not exist!)
