Agility is advantageous since it also affects turn order. On the other hand, to my knowledge there are more ways to buff Attack and also better buffs (like Full Power's +300% increase to Attack).

I did try out Alchemy before. I've found that just keeping an Alchemist in the frontline gives me enough materials for the skills. I stopped using them since I moved Lily out of my party for other characters (and my party was strong enough that I didn't need Alchemy skills to win battles).
