So, there are a couple of differences between the two CDE successors. Here are the arts for quick purview, with some differences highlighted.
These are some of the differences between the two arts.
RME is more focused on seeking out information from the surrounding area, hence the change in the wisps distance from the user and their stats as well as the viewing allowing multiple instances running with a single activation.
CDP is more focused on battlefield precognition which is indicated through the bonus to multiple lines of sight on a target and the increased defensive attributes for the watchful moon analysis (as well as the increased cost).
These are further compounded by the difference in passives granted, RME giving bonuses to social perception, academics, and remote viewing while CDP is pretty heavily focused on combat with combat perception, spiritual avoid and physical avoid.
Roaming Moon's Eye
Potency: Green 2(1) Green 3(3), Green 4(5)
Max Level: 5
Required Meridians: Head x3, Lung x2, Lung(3), Head (5)
Keywords: Academics, Clairvoyance, Intelligence, Perceptiveness, Projection, Moon, Secrets, Water, Yin
The arts of the great diviner have spread far and wide with time, their secrets no longer held in trust. This art has been said to be a descendant of the impeccable arts of the great horned sages. With the first lessons mastered, the student is able to choose a branch of divination to develop their paths along. This art is the path of the scholar and the seeker of secrets, who casts their eyes wide and far in search of knowledge.
Passives
+10 to Combat Perception
+10 to Social Perception
+5 to both Perceptions when using remote viewing techniques
+10 to Spiritual Avoid
+10 to Formations when deciphering arrays
+15 to Academics
Inquisitive Study: D
Duration: Persistent or Upkeep 2
The user's eyes gleam briefly with a silver sheen as they study the object of their curiosity. The users perception increases greatly for up to two tests in a single scene, allowing them to discern many details that they might otherwise miss.
Seeking Moon's Eyes: C
Duration: Persistent
Conjures three reflective silver wisps the size of a coin. Expressions of the Diviner's curiosity, these wisps seek their parents interest eagerly. The wisps ignore wholly physical obstacles but cannot travel further than Far distance from their creator. The creator may see from the wisp's position as if they stood there themselves, though only in one direction at a time. This greatly increases their combat perception in the areas within which this sight overlaps.
Statblock
Health: G
Speed: B, Initiative: C
Avoid: B, Armor H
Watchful Moon Analysis: C
Duration: Immediate
Used in tandem with an damaging art, allows the users thoughts to far outspeed their limbs, greatly slowing their perception of the world, and allowing the user to pick out minute details that might otherwise be missed in the flows of an enemy or obstacles qi, and adjust the course of their blow. Through this the user ignores the effects of a single defensive technique of C rank or lower, or if none are active, penalizes the targets armor or avoid at the users discretion.
Initiate's Viewing Pool: B
[Non-Combat]
Requiring a surface of calm water at least two handspans wide, the user concentrates on a familiar person or place within ten kilometers of their current position. The user is able to view the person or location in clear detail with both sight and hearing with perception equivalent to their own base Perception. This viewing may be opposed by arts or talismans of various types, in which case the users combat perception is used to determine success. With sufficient surfaces, the use may view up to three targets with a single use of this technique.
Casual Diviner's Poise

Required Meridians:Head x3, Lung x2, Head(3), Headx2(5)
Keywords: Academics, Intelligence, Precognition, Perceptiveness, Projection, Moon, Secrets, Water, Yin
The arts of the great diviner have spread far and wide with time, their secrets no longer held in trust. This art has been said to be a descendant of the impeccable arts of the great horned sages.

Seeking Moon's Eyes: C
Duration: Persistent
Conjures three reflective silver wisps the size of a coin. Expressions of the Diviner's curiosity, these wisps seek their parents interest eagerly. The wisps ignore wholly physical obstacles but cannot travel further than Close distance from their creator. The creator may see from the wisp's position as if they stood there themselves, though only in one direction at a time. This greatly increases their combat perception in the areas within which this sight overlaps. For each line of site beyond the first the user has on an opponent, they receive a small bonus to physical hit and avoid.

Health: E
Speed: C, Initiative: D
Avoid: C, Armor D
Watchful Moon Analysis: B
Duration: Immediate
Used in tandem with an damaging art or in response to an attack, allows the users thoughts to far outspeed their limbs, greatly slowing their perception of the world, and allowing the user to pick out minute details that might otherwise be missed in the flows of an enemy or obstacles qi, and adjust the course of their blow. Through this the user ignores the effects of a single defensive technique of C rank or lower, or if none are active, penalizes the targets armor or avoid at the users discretion. Used defensively, it allows the user to ignore the effects of one single target attack of C rank or lower, or significantly increase their own avoid against a higher ranked technique
Initiate's Viewing Pool: C
[Non-Combat]
Requiring a surface of calm water at least two handspans wide, the user concentrates on a familiar person or place within five kilometers of their current position. The user is able to view the person or location in clear detail with both sight and hearing with perception equivalent to their own at a one rank reduction. This viewing may be opposed by arts or talismans of various types, in which case the users combat perception is used to determine success.
These are some of the differences between the two arts.
RME is more focused on seeking out information from the surrounding area, hence the change in the wisps distance from the user and their stats as well as the viewing allowing multiple instances running with a single activation.
