I'm not a big fan of 'See Invisible' as an advantage at all. Usually the ability to see invisible creatures isn't a function of vision at all, it's a detect (likely with discriminatory, imaging, precise, and passive -- not all of which actually exist as enhancements AFAIK). Seeing invisible creatures is only an upgrade to vision when the creature isn't actually invisible, there's just some effect (such as an illusion) preventing spotting it and it's possible to be immune to the blocking effect.
