Sorry, when I see illusionist, I picture a little arcane gnome in my mind.
The mechanics certainly support psionics as a possible power source...but you are still stuck with what people envision when they picture an illusionist, and psionics is just not the first thing to come to mind.
Don't believe everything you think

Jamison: "psionics is just not the first thing to come to mind"
Traditional D&D players rarely used Psionic, even tho it is core. Which goes back to the problem of fringe mechanics.
In 4e, if the Psionic power source stays with normal mechanics and focuses only on thematics, then it would be easier for traditional D&D players to accept 'Psionic' as a 'specialized school of magic', which is what it is.
If the Illusionist class uses the Psionic power source, it should use normal mechanics. I think the mental flavor would give the magic of the Illusionist a cool vibe.
