His reserves would be the same as his nonsick self, only refilling after every expenditure infinitely.. therefor his limits of usage would of still been the same as his healthy life. He showed he was able to do MORE so therefore in health he could do more. That's why I say 2.5 which is even lower than Kakashi, is only for his sick state. Besides the stats taken in DB3 are only accounting for his battles he had in P2 so they only truly account for his battle with Sasuke. Stats only account for battles shown for the most part as Databook 1 specified.

DB1 says all stats are evaluated by characters current performance.

So Itachi's stats are about his sick state none the less. Databook's explanation of the stat key and stats themselves says so, and also says they are prone to change. I don't think that is accepted here, did ShonenSuki or any mod support that? And if Itachi doesn't have low stamina, three usages of the MS wouldn't have been able to force him to turn off his Sharingan and take an extended rest in Part I.

It seems you have a personal bias for Itachi to have greater reserves since you keep trying to insert 'Well Kakashi is greater!' Itachi having naturally low reserves would be normal.
