They are at their best when combined, it's called Reality Warping ^ ^
To me, they are completely equal. They just achieve the same feats in very different ways, and each have their own advantages and disadvantages. One isn't really stronger than the other. ?
True, Psionic Magic is thir combination, while Reality Warping is their complete fusion.
To me, magic always seemed more polyvalent as it can do virtually anything ('cause it's magic ^ ^), and psionics more convenient since it is entirely thought-based. Though I guess if we go sufficiently spiritual about it, psionics can ultimately do the same as magic, and sufficiently advanced masters can use magic without formal restrictions (thoughts alone).
Magic Transcendence + Reality Magic > Reality Warping by itself
I suspect that the main difference between the two is that while magic system can differ greatly from one work to another (e.g., relying on the ambient mana in the surroundings vs. relying on one's own supply of mana, activation via long chants and calculations vs. activation via hand gestures, etc.), the psionic powers tend to follow a single framework.
If we go up the power-ladder, we eventually reach a variation of omnipotence with both paths, so that's that. However, if we compare a more common examples, then magic usually has greater versatility than its psionic counterpart, while the psionic power is more readily available to its user than its magical counterpart. For instance, a user of teleportation usually starts accidentally (at first, and then they learn to control it) teleporting as soon as they awaken their power and / or as soon as they start encountering unpleasant situations, however a user of teleportation magic is rarely able to do anything without first going through some studies and / or spell devising; however, once the user of teleportation magic gets to it, there is (or can be) a spell for virtually any teleportation effect or variation one can imagine.
magic, eventually, have much more capabilities.
eventually, everything psionics can do, magic can do as well.
if you also consider the fact that the highest level of psionics is absolute psionics manipulation, and for magic it's almighty magic, the diference is the gap between nigh-omnipotence and omnipotence.
the point is that while magic might take more time to learn, and might be more complicated, and with enough inttelegence, expirience and creativity, you can achive nearly godhood with psionics, magic still have far more options, and magic can come both from you and form you'r surroundings, so you are not limited in temr of energy.
not really.
usually, the basic levels of magic comes with telepathy and telekinesis, usually on par with psionics user's.
the absolute levels of each of them of course have magic in favor, but usually, magic stand with par and surpass psionics.
At the basic level of each of them, magic hold basic psionics, and other abilities. maybe there ar esome levels in which psionics>magic, but they are rare.
eventually, everything psionics can do, magic can do as well.

You must not have heard of Psychopotence, its even stronger then Absolute Psionic Manipulation. A user of Psychopotence would literally wield unlimited power with their mind alone, putting them at the level of Mystopotence (or as its actually called "Almighty Magic") basically having different types of power (mind vs magic) but having the same amount as each other (unlimited).
Why don't you just compare them at their basic and Absoute level?
Psionics Vs Magic
&
Absolute Psionic Power vs Almighty Magic
The answer is Obvious now, I think.
Nobody says that about Psionic no matter what level its at.
