In our sagas, Diedne Magic has always been outshined by Life Linked Spontaneous Magic. Always.

Unless we've misread something, the fatigue bonus from Diedne Magic is halved, while the bonus from Life Linked Spontaneous Magic is not. So if a Life Linked caster needs to go all out, (s)he can boost the casting total by 20 or so. A Diedne would need a 40 in his LOWER Art to get the same benefit.

In our sagas, we have never seen Arts get close to this, the maximum ever (for a PC) being around 25.

You are correct...but you get to raise ONE spell by 20 points...
A Diedne with a (say) 10 low art, gets to add 10 to FOUR spells..
If he has a low art of 15, its +15 to FOUR spells.

So you get to add 20 to ONE spell (or 5 to four spells), or he gets to add 40 or 60 to four spells.

The more powerful the Diedne, the more profound the effect. Life Linked stays the same....

Hmm. Maybe the pace has been slow enough that a few points of fatigue here and there don't matter. I'll have to change that.
