True, but how many times a day you see a wizard say "I'll cast See Invisibility. Ya know, just in case."
Usually when they need to use it, they already got at least a stab. If the attacker was under normal Invisibility, he already lost it so the See spell is useless.
There are some effects that gives you it 24h/day, though, so it's a good idea to get it as soon as possible.
