I don't think Kelly's original design was too bad. The way I price invisibility with all the bells and whistles + a level 9 Obscure (hearing) it would cost 154CP.
That build makes the illusory double independent (which is the intent of the original I'm stealing here) so it can be an exact mirror or it can seem to perform different actions as long as it stays within 2 hexes.
I'm still looking at ways to limit the Duplicate power to be what I want and stay within the letter of the RAW but I'm probably going to go with what Kelly gave me.

Thanks everyone :)
Well it's your game, and an NPC (I assume) to boot, but even with the illusion fully independent, the combination is explicitly weaker than just invisibility so it should cost less. The extra confusion in combat doesn't come close to compensating for the fact that he can't move around completely unnoticed.
