Clouded vision oracle + Deepsight?

[Lincoln Hills]

An oracle with clouded vision sees "as if using" darkvision, which goes up to 60' at level 5. Is it legal to take the Deepsight feet for that character to gain 120' of darkvision? Or does the phrase "as if using" mean that the character doesn't meet the prerequisite?

You could take it but you can still only see to 60ft in light and dark conditions so it would be a waste.
