They have a 0.25 bonus on scan profile, they should also have a 0.25 penalty on scan precision.
If you think about it, when you raise the cortex, it deflects elettromagnetic rays coming from the external.
It should be the same from the internal to the external, the rays that your suit emits should be partially deflected by the cortex and this results in a loss of scanning precision.
Not any hate on cloaks but i feel they should have a little (logic) malus.
The unnamed new build it's so secret that nobody know what will be in it, even after patch notes..

I don't have any problem with scan profile reduction, i've suggested this thinking in a logical way.
If the cortex is partially blocking the elettromagnetic waves coming both from the outside (active scan and other suit passive scan) and from the inside (your profile signature).
It should also partially block the other waves coming from the inside (your scanning precision).
I will provide a image to explain better.

The profile reduction, coupled with not raising scan precision, allows it to enhance a hit and run playstyle, instead of being a simple gimmick.
Seriously, I haven't had anyone actually kill me by utilizing the invisibility of the cloak. The profile reduction, in addition to their suits having a naturally good scan precision, is far more threatening and should thus be kept.
I understand your POV, but with a lvl 5 scout pg/cpu costs are not so high and even if i usually don't say this, you have to balance it more on a lvl 5 scout skill (not necessarily the suit) that sooner or later you will skill, if you are interest in using the scout at its full potential.
This thing that i suggest is logical consequence based on what the cortex does to your profile signature, i don't want to nerf or buff the CD, but i feel that i would be more logic with a penalty on scan precision that justifies the bonus on profile signature.

Here a image explaining how it should work Your proposal punishes caldari scout's precision, which is already bad against profile dampening. I believe a better option could be to reduce sprint speed.
What is the logic sense in decreasing sprint speed?

Sorry, i've used the word "cortex" because i've found the same word on the dev blog and i don't know any other simple word to say "cloak activated".
The scouts have a base scan precision of 40.
Assuming you have lvl.5 in precision enhacers it's 40*0.9=36
Level 5 Caldari scout have 36*0.75=27
With the penalty
Caldari scout have 27*1.25=33.75 better than
Other scouts have 36*1.25=45
