As a member of the "Dedicated Powerstones can be used to power any spell cast by the wizard" camp, I want to make it clear that I don't think this means that the bonus for being dedicated should carry over to all such spells. Namely I think enchanted spells should be cast at double efficiency, while spells cast through the item with the Staff enchantment should be cast at a 1-for-1 ratio. There doesn't seem to be any basis for this RAW, but I do believe that allowing ALL spells to be cast at double efficiency does indeed leave no reason to use normal powerstones.
