Default Spear Master

I was looking through various Spear styles and options to make a Spear Master, and I was a bit intrigued by options such as Form Mastery (MA50), and using the Staff skill for +2 Parry. When it came down to points, it seemed it wasn't as effective as just ploughing down all points into the Spear skill, which felt a bit boring.

So, assume a character of DX 10, no other Advantages/Disadvantages. Spear and Staff skills are both DX/A, and mutually default at -2. Spear the weapon can be used with Staff skill at a further -2.

If I put 24 points into Spear, I'll have 16 for attacks and 11 for parry.

If I put 16 into Spear, 8 into Staff, I'll have 14 in both, so 14 for attack and still 11 in parry ((14-2)÷2 + 3 + 2 with the staff skill). And to be able to do so freely, I need another point in Form Mastery.

So, did I miss something or how do I make an exciting spear master whose point allocation also makes sense? I mean, I could spend the extra points for the "roleplaying value", of course, but it doesn't quite feel right.
