Clairsentience isn’t designed for accessing other worlds such as Cyberspace, and always assumes that the projected form will be intangible with respect to its surroundings. Jumper (Cyberspace; Projection) has neither of these issues.

that’s arguably covered by the cost of Jumper.

So does Jumper (Cyberspace): your cyberspace avatar is subject to interactions with and hostilities from cyberspace residents.

+50% is on the high side, and I wouldn’t call it “At Range” (because the Severability isn’t what lets you project your consciousness); but it’s still within the acceptable range of pricings.
