Same for me. We don't find it too complex. More than spirit or divine, that's for sure, but not too complex. And it never caused problems.

This is exactly my main point (and is of course a matter of taste): it is more powerful at lower levels, less powerful at higher levels.
One of the points we like with sorcery is that it is in line with the rest of the system, that is start small and grow.
I agree it is simpler to use, but I think that for RQIII, the raw power is not mainly based on MP. You need MP (often stored), Free INT and skills (roll is made against the lowest of the percentage).
And by the way, what is the free int/spirit loophole?
