I agree with every part of this entire post. In fact, I don't think I thought the whole "Keldorn over Anomen" thing through well enough.
Combat-wise, Keldorn requires a little less thought than Anomen. Throw his awesome Dispel Magic and True Sight abilities around, and have him swing the biggest sword you got, and that's Keldoen in combat. And one of the best items that you'll find in the game is tailor made for him.
Anomen and his wide array of cleric spells has more potential, depending on how much attention you put towards putting his spells to good use. There is a wide range of offense and defense to be found in the cleric's spell list. And he can use another one of the best items that you'll find in the game.
So Keldorn has a bit more straight forward-ness in combat, whereas Anomen requires a bit more managing to get his full potential. Good or bad, depending on your playing preferences.
One other thing to consider is that if you plan to play through the Saga again, and want to experience as many NPC's as possible, maybe it's best to finish your current game with Anomen, since you've already come this far with him, and save Keldorn and his entire repitoire of in-game banters for your next game. Just something else to consider if you're tallying the pros and cons to Anomen vs. Keldorn...
