This is why I love the focused specialist variant in complete mage - I will willingly give up spells to cast the fewer spells I do know more often.The only exception I can think of is if you have a means of spontaneously casting any spell you know somehow. For example, you could leave slots empty, to fill with the appropriate spell as circumstances dictate. Or take feats that let you cast spells spontaneously, such as alacritious cogitation (complete mage) or uncanny forethought (exemplars of evil). This way, you are almost assured of have the best "silver bullet" spell to deal with a given situation. Else, I personally feel that beyond a certain point, extra spells known aren't all that great and you may simply be better off saving the money and spending them on better magic gear instead.</blockquote>
