For the sake of the argument.

Over a 5 minute duration, if you could use Seigan at every opportunity, you get 20.

20 Seigans
300 Kenki
4000 Potency

If you don't, it's 12 Shintens you could use instead

12 Shintens
300 Kenki
3600 Potency

Over 5 minutes, it amounts to 4 extra auto attacks. Unless you're diving into avoidable damage, realistically you're only going to get, maybe, 4-5 over this duration

5 Seigan
75 Kenki
1000 Potency

3 Shinten
75 Kenki
900 Potency

The difference is 100 potency. 1 auto attack.
