sorry, not following you. Greater Invisbity provides the same effect
as Invisbility but remains active even if/when he attacks unlike the
lower version. Therefore it makes sense to invest the cost savings
into a Silence effect to eliminate the worry of his moving around,
drawing a weapon, etc might reveal his presence/location.

I suggested the second effect because the group needs some means of
seeing each other while invisible, especially since the party member
(s) will no longer be turning visible once combat begins to avoid
hurting each other!

the revised version remains under his implied budget. If money allows,
they should consider adding:
900 0 level spell-effect: cantrip -- eliminate his body odor,
or better yet ALL smells within say 5' of the stone, to avoid alerting
guard dogs/etc.
27,000 3rd level spell-effect: flight -- eliminates the tell-tale
foot prints along dusty floors, ankle-height trip wires, etc.
for a grand total of $151,500 per stone.
