I'm with Paul, here. I think there are loads of reasons, mechanical and otherwise to have a devotee (these objections are starting to sound like those of the rebels in Life of Brian, "What's being a devotee give you. Besides greater flexibility within the Affinities. And higher levels with Feats. And secrets...).
More importantly, somehow players in my games keep choosing to be devotees as often as initiates. So from a practical stance, I can tell you it works fine.
