If a certain spell turns out to be usefull in an adventure they dont have to worry about only having memorized it once, they can keep using it as needed, or not at all as needed. With a properly thought out spell selection you should be able to find at least one spell of every level that you can use in just about any adventure.  For utility spells that are often needed, but not important enough to make part of your selection wands are a nice addition.  Having played in groups with both wizards and sorcerers I have not noticed the players of either class not enjoying themselves.</blockquote>
