He gets to make a concentration check, and no matter how easy those are, having the DC be in the 40s or 50s make the check a little harder. The same premise works well with sniping rogues. Begin hidden, then ready, sneak attack, interrupt spell, re-hide. Its much easier to do either of these than really counterspell(unless you are a sorceror), and it also does damage. -AS-
