Wizards are a little favored by getting to choose per day instead of per level. Sorcerer's are a little favored because they have the ability to cast 1 or 2 key spells for any encounter over and over and over if they wish.   My only point was wizards are a lot more flexible then given credit for usually and that many times it's not even a break in the routine of adventurers to access that flexibility.  YMMV.</blockquote>
