The reasoning behind the change is so that for each of them (AmScout/CalScout) to have great precision AND great range they will need to sacrifice their primary tank (high for CalScout/low for AmScout.)
Your notion breaks that utterly and brings the CalScout back to primacy by giving it great precision with still excellent range and still having the capability to put very significant tank into their highs.
In other words, your idea breaks game balance.

Scouts ARE alike. Just as how Assaults are alike, and Sentinels are alike, and...yeah. Thing is, they perform their roles differently: AmScout is a slow, short scan range scout hunter, unless they sacrifice tank to become a true hunter. The CalScout is a long range medium hunter, unless they sacrifice highs to get precision low enough to threaten scouts.
They are somewhat different, in their niche of both being scouts, but they can cross pollinate if they choose to, but doing so sacrifices their main tank.
Seriously, the change is not just fine, it's excellent. Respecs may be warranted, but that's an entirely different box of frogs.

I don't understand what you're saying. CalScouts gave up shields for super scans? Not true: because currently they have bonuses to range AND precision, they could afford to give up maybe two highs for awesome precision and maybe one low for a range amp and still fit great tank...which is why CalScouts have been FotM recently.
AmScouts are currently a joke; MinScouts are the hard mode scouts who are masochists because CalScouts just lol and murder them; GalScouts can evade the CalScout by nerfing their fitting to all hell, otherwise they are just brick tanked, because GalScout bonuses got nerfed because of CalScouts...
