[QUOTE="PsyzhranV2, post: 7913590, member: 7015332"] No, because the Wizard: [LIST] [*]Knows a minimum of 44 (miscounted the first time) spells and can prepare 25 at Level 20, as opposed to the Sorcerer's hard limit of 15, [*]Can prepare different spells after every long rest to suit the situation, and [*]Has a much bigger and flexible pool of spells on their spell list. [/LIST] This means that the Wizard has more breathing room to take utility and thematic spells, as opposed to the Sorcerer, who either needs to find a niche and hyper focus it or end up a worse Swiss Army knife than the Wizard. And plus, no self-respecting caster that has access to them would pass up Haste or Polymorph, except the Wizard can do so and still have space left for less "meta", more situationally useful spells. The Sorcerer can't. At the very, very least, the Bard, the other Charisma spells known full caster, gets 22 spells known, even if 6 of them are from Magical Secrets as opposed to the normal progression. Contrast that with the Sorcerer's piddling 15 - in fact, it's the same number of spells known that the Ranger, a half-caster has! [/QUOTE]
