Amarr Scout suffers from a complete lack of purpose in the current meta, more than any other suit (except Assaults, I guess but that isn't the point).
The recent 'Hotfix: Alpha' notes show that you're seriously considering the roles of the scouts; well, here're my two cents (courtesy of Jebus McKing).
Remove the Scan radius bonus from Gallente AND Caldari scouts. Give it to the Amarr Scout.
Amarr scout won't have the capabilities to be a 'wall hack' like the current Caldari Scout, with its immense scan precision, but it will be able to pick up most medium frames.
This makes it excellent for its stated role of 'light assault'; its scan radius would make it excellent for spotting incursions of assault suits or heavy/logi combos.
The Amarr suits, being incredibly slow are extremely vulnerable to being outflanked by any and all other frames; the Amarr Scour having a scan radius bonus (But no precision bonus) would make it excellent for predicting large scale assaults.

Part of the problem with Amarr are their zealots. They are a little more picky and like their suits to match the lore more than any of the other races.
Actually, the Amarr guys are pretty supportive of the idea.
It's pretty 'Amarr' anyway, our doctrine is slow and pondering, so this compensates for our lack of speed with general knowledge.

Also, what are you going to replace the bonus you take away from gallante and caldari scout with?
IDC. Why do they need two bonuses? Amarr only has one right now anyway.
Two reasons that's a terrible bonus for the Amarr Scout: one, it promotes spam over skill; an increased headshot multiplier would be something I agreed with. The second reason is that there is a reason the ScP got nerfed.
I was going to build my 1.8 suits around the ScP, before I discovered they'd nerfed it. As in my ScP being top priority fitting.
A limited 'wall hack' would actually allow you to shred medium suits; this bonus would make the Amarr scout a light assault as opposed to a gimp suit; running in the vanguard and checking for targets, or spotting for the slow-moving, long-ranged battle line.
