That's the idea! One of my goals when writing Psionic Powers was to focus heavily on the skills, making them as useful as possible. That's more true for some abilities than others, but in the case of TK Grab, it's the subtle use of Based on IQ (as explained on p. 17) that helps justify it.

So yeah, if your GM wouldn't blink at TK Grab 25 and the skill TK Grab-15, he shouldn't blink at TK Grab 15 and the skill TK Grab-25. They're both valid options, and give you a choice between power and control.
