Well, they are really in totally different leagues.

Sure a mage can sling Deadly damage mojo over loooong distances, but
he pays in drain.
The average or typial Sammi is gonna have better initiative, but that
been axed by the 3rd ed rules for combat.
He can also sling Serious dmage bullets outta a rifle to pretty good
ranges, but has no astral abilities.
I dont thin the two archetypes should be compared as each has strong
and weak points IMHO.

Your players are probably just bellyaching cos you took their toys
away :)
