The amount of time is not the critical issue. The control is. The channels through which an arcanist gets his positive energy do not allow for the energy to be well controlled. The divine caster gets it through other means, and my thus apply the energy in a more gentle and constructive manner.
I've made them standard arcane spells, a level higher than the divine spell. The wizard still has to choose to add it to his spell book and prepare it, it has been my experience that a wizard rarely prepares more than one.

I've played in campaigns which put Cure Minor at 2nd, Cure Light at 3rd level arcane, moderate at 4th, serious at 5th and critical at 6th. They were always non-standard spells and wizards always had to individually research them. The best effect, of course, was the ability for Wizards to use Wands of CLW.
thats the point I was trying to make too
