I'm pretty suer he'll get the +2 mod no matter what.
Any time you astrally perceive, you get the modifier, even for casting spells.
You're not just watching the aura after all, you're synching the spell to
the aura - that should include matching he physical world if the spell has
any phys components.
The other reason for the +2 mod is that astral perception is not natural for
a mage. They still have to concentrate to seperate information from the two
planes.
Mages aren't dual natured, their an exception to the rules.
