Racially, it's Caldari. Caldari are all about that Range look at rail weapons.
It would be more useful, for your Rail weapon, if you had a longer scan range, than a short stubby precise one. Whereas the Amarr are slower and armor heavier but are without an innate armor rep. They are truly picked on by other scouts they lack the defense mechanisms to bite back. However giving them precision makes them less susceptible to scout harassment and gives them the racial "Eye of God" omniscience. It fits much better this way in my opinion and CCP sort of agrees.
As for the High slot count argument, on my Gallente Scout I fit dual precision enhancers and can spot many many many foolish scouts (get around 23 in precision) If I can drop over 10 points in precision from 2 slots without a bonus I think the Amarr will be well off with a bonus and 2 high slots.

It's not clear yet so you have wait and see.

Scan bonus should go to suits that will be gimped if they use those modules. Suits which are primarily, shield suits like cal and min. Give the amarr the dampening bonus and give gallente the range bonus.
That argument works only and only if efficacy to modules
For instance if we continue to give the precision bonus to Caldari it frees up 2 high slots with the 5% bonus. People will look at this like a present on the door step and ignore further pursuing use of precision mods and replace it with tank. Giving them a range bonus frees up a low slot in essence, of which they have very little use for in terms of tank. However at the same time they have the most high slots so they are the best scanner no matter if they tank or not. There is a reason we see Cal Scouts with shields in the hundreds, who are still very able to track down dampened suits.
If we had efficacy to module bonuses then, you'd be correct. However we won't until Delta.
