If you can endure Aeries constant whining, sure, she's a better spellcaster. But Aerie isn't in BG 1, so that's not an option. Quayle can only join at midgame, so there's that. Then you have Edwin (CE, keep that in mind) and Dynaheir. Both are pretty good, mind you. But Neera can memorize more spells, without the help of an amulet. The Wild Surges are part of the deal. Can have devestating effects, or can have pretty funny effects (cast sleep, end up with a fireball that whipes out all the attackers and half of the party).
