I mean, you could roll up a sorcerer of your own while keeping your main PC a different class if you just really want any sorcerer in the party, seeing as EE lets you add additional party members in single-player. Depends how much you care about losing party banters!

Shame Baeloth Barrityl never made it into BG2, I enjoyed him immensely in BG and SoD. Guess they couldn't really think of how to slot him in to the story. I mean, sure, as a sorcerer with Drow MR he's pretty overpowered, but Edwin himself is pretty overpowered, so...

Edwin as a Conjurer is probably a little weaker than being EEKeepered to Sorcerer, assuming you let him keep his amulet when you changed his class. He'll have about the same number of spellcasts per day, and gain access to higher spell levels slightly faster, but he'll lose the flexibility of spontaneous spellcasting. In exchange he can learn more spells, but the question is really how often you need to know more spells than a sorcerer would. Occasionally it's nice to be able to swap out for some situational spells that you wouldn't have a Sorc learn, but usually you're just sticking to a few spells in which case Sorc is a clear winner. He also loses Divination spells but as the article mentions that isn't actually that big a deal.
