Personally, I suspect the restriction in Powers is worded the way it is because most existing special modifiers for Warp in the Basic Set and Powers are incompatible with Anchored (Blind, Warp Jump, Hyperjump with most anchors, Range Limit, and from Powers, Blink, Tracking, Blind Only, Drift, Projection, and Special Portal). It was probably worded that way to avoid a large wordcount-eating list, and Tunnel was just mistakenly left out of the exceptions.

Actually, disregard this - I just noticed that in Powers, Anchored to one place, but you can change what the place is by spending a minute there, is worth -50%. So that's what I'd use for the value of the "can only warp to the place you've most recently been", and the Either/Or limitation would become Either Anchored, my home base, -80%, or Anchored, place I've been before, -50%, for a final value of -40%. In this case, I think it's reasonable to replace the "must be there for a minute to change locations" restriction to "must successfully Warp to home base from there", since Warp isn't guaranteed.
