  Not necessarily. You need to weight the benefits with the costs. Sure, stamina potions can be bought at NPCs, but mana potions can be player bought - people sell mana herbs all the time, it's just a matter of making them with 99% monday rates every week.
  If I run around with capped meditation on, I end up using maybe 3-4x as many stamina potions, without a noticeable difference in mana potion usage. Is it good to use up an extra 3-5k gold on stamina potions just to save about 1k gold on a mana potion? Maybe to you, but not to me.

  
  I'm sure that stamina potions and sunlight herbs are less expensive to buy from players then mana.

  That wasn't his point. His point is that Meditation completely stops the natural recovery of stamina while only providing a slight boost to mana regeneration. By using Meditation, all you're doing is increasing the frequency at which you have to use stamina potions, while the rate at which you use mana potions hardly changes at all. Stamina potions may be cheaper and more readily available, but if you have to spend extra money on them just to recover SP and your expenses on MP barely change, you end up losing more money on SP than on MP.
