Having two scanners just to mitigate their long re-spool times is a waste of a valuable equipment slot. The cone is already small and the scan significantly lessened that essentially you're doing the same thing as someone who has three damage mods on their dropsuits. The second and third one, in this build, is pretty much a waste. It would do you better to place an equipment piece that has value over time instead of just having two scanners. All just to have a scan on enemies? If you wish to use the scan, cool. Use battlefield awareness as your impromptu scanner.
TL:DR? The value of any other piece of equipment far outweighs the proposition of carrying two scans just to mitigate the long re-spool times and the short scans.

What do I think? I think that it's a real shame that Active Scanners exist, and provides a reliable crutch for people who can't rely on situational awareness. *Sigh*
Honestly though, there are many FPS titles that we have experienced as a whole that has some sort of scanning operation involved. It's not a crutch, its a part of the e war. What made the scanners to be considered as crutch is when we supported the idea to have Intel WPs added to it.
Scanners were in the game long before that and before the multitudes noticed it. I was using a scan just on the benefit that I noticed when I watched Jungian play on Twitch. I skilled into just for the intel to help my team. It wasn't a crutch.
It's interesting that folks complained about it when all it took was some skilling into profile dampening to lessen its impact.
