Ok so normally the difference in .082 would be so small that it is not worth arguing about, but this is how much below 28dB you get with a med frame, full damp skills, 1x complex and 1x enhanced dampener. However you still get pinged by the 28dB proto scanner because I believe CCP rounds up to put your suit at 28 dB instead of 27.918.
Similar to how 1 x enhanced on a med frame gets you to exactly 36dB, it's so close it hurts when you are designing your suits to be as efficient as possible.
I don't want to see scanners nerfed. IMO everyone complaining (except heavies and min assaults) about getting scanned have only themselves to blame. To this day I have still not been scanned in any of my Ghost med frame suits that equip double complex dampeners.
However, as a balancing trade I would propose this, if the tie went to the suite, medium frames with full skills and 1x enhanced dampener, and med frames with 1 complex and 1 enhanced to beat the advanced and proto scanners respectively. This would still cause mercs to have to make a sacrifice in their builds to evade scanning, but give us a little back.
Another fix which would have the exact same effect in regards to suit builds would be to bring the advanced scanner UP to 37 dB and the Proto UP to 29dB.
For heavies I have a different idea, why not make their precision level WAY lower. They have the beefy suits and such a high profile that it is worthless for them to try to evade radar, as it should be. However, given that they are at that disadvantage, why not give them a natural precision of 40 dB so that they see all but those that skill and equip to counter if they put skill into precision enhancement (not gonna say heavies should get it for free)? The vehicle scanners are set at 36dB, why not give the walking vehicles the same advantage?
As for my Min Assualt brethren, I have no clue. A third low would be OP, so maybe give your suite a natural bonus similar to scouts so that one complex puts you under protos and one basic puts you under advanced? I've not done the math, but you guys are pretty screwed, and I don't think that 1hp armor regen is enough to off set it.
