Casting stats are necessary in order to cast spells.

So, I'm gonna go with "not even vaguely equal". Some get to be god-wizards, and most do not.
I think stat choice is both determined in a number of different ways, and not as important long term as you might think. I mean sure nothing but 20s would be a nice start (if possible) But there are lots of long term ways to make up for any deficits. My centaur rogue can still be a badass even if at level one he is not as stealthy as he could be.
