HERO 5th, page 348 says:

"If two Powers (or other game elements) are equally valid ways to create a particular ability, you must use the more expensive of the two."

In several published HERO products, I've seen extra PRE bought with a -1 "Only To Defend Against Presence Attacks" Limitation. But isn't this incorrect in light of the rule cited above when EGO with the same Limitation is equally valid in every way and costs twice as much?

No, since the rules explicitly give the character the choice of applying which Characteristic he wants to use in this situation.
