Pricing a staff as a weapon and spell trigger

How would you price a staff which can be used both as a normal spell trigger item and a weapon? Would you increase one of the prices when you combine the two?

From the SRD:
Multiple Different Abilities
Abilities such as an attack roll bonus or saving throw bonus and a spell-like function are not similar, and their values are simply added together to determine the cost. For items that do take up a space on a character’s body each additional power not only has no discount but instead has a 50% increase in price.
 

So you're saying that a 10k staff ability and a 10k weapon ability would be either 20k or 25k (assuming you consider "weapon in hand" a slot)?

I'd rather just have two separate staffs and an efficient quiver at that point.
