if you lead off with Crushing Despair. So your DC 38 is going to behave more like a DC 40. Or even 42, if you land Crushing Despair itself. This favor Sorcerers

I haven't checked the exact layout conflicts, but the number of Sorcerers who presently have Crushing Despair is far below 1%. As a general rule Wizards have an advantage in being able to slot in a bigger variety of spells.
