I like the idea but would price it at 20 points so its more comparable to Clair sentience (Vision only).
Clairsentience lets you get a better look at things, change perspective and see inside things.
Penetrating Vision would need Darkvision to see inside something, though that could be an enhancement as well. It also avoids the IQ roll Clairsentience needs to target it.
However I think Penetrating Vision is less useful overall, especially with the base six inches.
