I have no problem with burning through a 11k staff of fireballs if it saves me deciding how many of my 3rd level slots to use on learning fireball that day. I would prefer to save my learn't spells for more interesting yet useful spells like teleport, dimension door, polymorph etc. I usually find that if you are going to use blaster style spells to deal with a situation you usually could do with more than you have prepared and staffs are ideal for that. I agree that the book staffs are less useful as they often include spells you may not useIt also means you can leave more spell slots open in the morning to allow for the unusual out of combat spells like the various divinationsScrolls and wands are good for any rare combat spell where you haven't got time to fill a slot - stuff like slow poison and remove paralysis</blockquote>
