Oh, crap, missed it.
Well, I reread pretty (well, relatively) deeply your calculations. Unfortunately, I'm not Russt (where is he?) or any of those number dudes around here, but I can point out some factors to help boost the case for Evan.
-Well, obviously you counted the -3 booster.
-Critical Magic. Seems like you accounted for this too.
-35 Passive Magic Attack for Evans. Didn't look like you included this, but this would slightly help the Evan case. The only thing AMs have competing is Meditation, but it's pretty negligible.
-The vast amount of types Evan have. Fire, Ice, and Lightning, Dark (lol), and that seems like it should hit most monsters for Super Effective Damage. If some monster resists all of these, well, you have Elemental Reset. Archmages don't.
-Dragon Equips. Unscrolled, but leveled up to the max, you can have an additional 18 LUK and INT, along with 12 extra slots. Arch Mages do not get this. You can also throw in some speed.
-Unfortunately, I do have to add the fact that Archmages do have a 5% stronger Amplification, albeit with a 20% more MP cost.
-However, that can be negated by Dragon Fury, which gives an extra 10% damage to the Evan when the MP is between 50 and 80%. Easily remedied by pets.
-Last is Onix's Blessing. Gives an extra 50 magic attack.
