Having actually run the numbers for Power Chord they work out pretty similarly, so I guess I'll let Riot have that one, although you do get them less frequently now.

It's a nice rework. I do like the idea. I can just see it being a big drop to Sona's power at first given that a) Her Q-aura is useless if allies don't AA, and practically useless if they just hit a minion or something and b) She has lost a lot of invisible power, which did count for a lot. So... the new "bursts" of power she gets need to be appropriately good to balance out what she loses, or she suffers a big drop in her strength. So she'll be cooler gameplay-wise, but she won't be strong enough for anyone to see that because they pick to win. =p

Or to put it more simply: At the moment, her Q is half a Baron buff, minus the regen boosts. Does the current on-hit magic damage on one AA per ally make up for losing that? W and E I think bear up fine. It's just the Q I'm not sure about, unless they implement something like Emptylord's idea. I just know as a player that putting an AA buff on someone doesn't necessarily mean they'll use it at all or if they'll use it on a champion or just hit a minion with it.
