While Powers can be individually as complicated as spells, both in construction and use, they give the wizard a much smaller set of well-defined options at any given time.

So do magical styles. Styles can have as few spells or as many as you design them to have. Choice paralysis is not exclusive to the magic system, as I understand it, it's a common complaint about the entire Gurps system.
