With the exp cap removed what do you guys prefer between these two classes? Was thinking of duoing to mage at lvl 12 Kensai or making a sorcerer. Whats your opinions, lets hear'em!
Also what about a gnome Illusionist/fighter? Get the benefits of a specialist mage and a fighter's thaco from the get go.
Kensai/Mage or Sorcerer for solo game

Personally, I'm from the role-playing school, though I've been lured into powergaming several times. (and probably will be again in the future) 
I don't see how a person who dedicated his entire life to the devotion of combat with a single weapon, becoming one with the sword and with the adrenaline of combat, can simply drop all that and become a mage in the span of an hour.
I'm not ripping anyone for doing this. Who am I? Do what you find fun. To me, from a roleplaying perspective, none of the fighter kits work when dualling to a mage. They don't make sense. Thus, I like the sorceror.

Riverwind: Ok...I wondered what you would consider a soloist but just re-read your note. I don't disagree that these are good solo classes, but IMO some of the ones you are dismissing are as well. BTW, Avenger/Fighter is impossible without editing or importing from BG1. It does sound like fun though.
That said, dual classing can be tricky when dualing. For a time you'll be weak, but once over that hump things get easy. Still, if you're playing without the cap I suggest you take the Kensai to level 13 before the dual. This will give you an extra 1/2 attack and another extra 1/2 attach with the boots of speed.
Sorcerers soloing are very slow since you have to keep resting. At the same time, they are very, very powerful.
