Staff Specializaton: Does it stack? (Thief-Acro + Monk Mystic)

[ThunderCraft]

I'm building a Shadar-kai Monk-Rogue-Druid and in picking my enhancements I ran into some situations where I questioned whether something would stack with something else.

One of those situations was the Staff Training lines of the Rogue's Thief-Acrobat tree and the Monk's Henshin Mystic tree.

In particular, since I'm investing heavily in both trees anyway, I find it rather tempting to grab "Staff Specialization" (tier 5) in both trees. Would my toon end up with a combined +2 Competence bonus to Critical Damage Multiplier and Threat Range?

You can't take Tier 5 enhancements in more than one tree.

The two staff lines do stack with each other; they were renamed in a recent-ish update to clarify that they're different and thus stack.

But as stated, you only get one tree for tier 5s.

As stated, you can only have T5 abilities from one PrE. Also, competence bonuses don't stack. FYI, Pulverizer (+1 crit range) in LD appears to be a competence bonus, as it doesn't stack w/Staff Spec nor Keen Edge from Kensei.
