Skyrim: Does Benefactor perk boost crafting potions?

I'm trying to make the absolute ultimate set of caster's Daedric Armor. I've got the armor, armorer and enchanting are more or less maxed out, but if I want it to be the best of the best, I'm also going to need some strong potions to boost my smithing/chanting skill. I reaalllly don't want to waste too many perks in apothecary though, so I'm wondering: is the Benefactor perk relevant to my goals, or should I stick with stacking up on the first perk and leave it at that?
