Meh, both wands and staffs have their uses.
A good staff is much more expensive, but it can handle way more force. Wand is cheaper, easier and more suited for finely detailed work.
Me, I'm specializing in necromancy, so I'm just going to stick with my staff. I use the shrunken heads and other enchanted objects to control the magical current, the staff is just there to direct that to right direction.
I understand that if you use your staff/wand to directly gather the mana and to give the power form right there, it matters much more...
My biggest problem with fashion is getting the smell out!

or even bare hand for the particularly skilled.
It's fine for spells that don't use much mana, but anything above level 5 on the Veles-scale, you really don't want your skin to be the surface for the plane-transition of energy.
That being said, the weavers of illusions do some crazy stuff with just a tiny amount of mana and bare hands...

Wands, staves, it's not the size that counts, it's how you use it! Unless you can transform one to the other, then something else, then anything goes.
I actually hide both a ritual dagger and a wand within my staff. That way I have access to all of my tools on the go.
Isn't there a risk of the mana-charges interfering with each other, then?
I guess it's fine if they're synchronious, but if they are, why carry more than one anyway?
I might be wrong, obviously. Seeing how I'm a necromancer and so constantly use heavily opposing forces. Some of my crystals used to capture souls get interference really easily, so I need to keep them shielded from all of my other equipment.
