I agree.
That is why I feel that reference allows but not requires you to take the PM if you have a Cosmic enhancement but not require it.
Just as taking the Cosmic PM does not require you to take a Cosmic Enhancement.
However taking both if you take one is encouraged becasue of that discount.
That works for me. Though I doubt many would take it just as a PM at that price.
