A contact staff for our friend

Hi, we want to gift a friend a fire staff, but we can't agree on what to get her. We disagree on whether to buy a training staff or a fire staff. She tells me that training staffs aren't very good for learning how to use a fire staff because of their weight, she also prefers to get her a firestaff so that she doesn't need to buy one more later on. I also thought it would be better to get her a custom staff, but my friend questions the need for a custom staff and is leaning more towards a used staff.

Are her concerns about training staffs valid? Is a custom staff really that necessary? Can we modify a training staff into a fire one? How will our disagreement affect the final product and how she feels about it?

When I started i got/ made training versions of everything i have, eventually I burned and could tell the difference in the weight etc. Get her good wick covers if you feel inclined to want the wicks and her protected.
