gold summoner rino is considered the best mage that is not named estelle (black mage).
Odette has a mincost of 33. normal plat mages have a mincost of 31. Mehlis has a mincost of 30.
Odette is considered to not have anything significant enough to be considered an advantage over other mages. (except a +20% MR for all units that almost nobody needs/uses)
