Two problems with your suggestion.
Firstly scouts wouldn't be able to hide from everything as currently my max skill proto scout needs to fill all low slots with dampeners and activate a proto cloak to avoid all scans. Personally I wouldn't have a problem with not being able to avoid focused scanners on Gal logis, but many people do have a problem with this. I'm more worried about the other scanner varients and Amarr scouts, which currently I have to sacrifice enough to avoid, and would be useless if I didn't. Even Gal scouts in pub matches force me to use a dampener on all my scout fits, not just proto, so I don't think it would be very fair, or a good idea to mess with this.
Secondly, by placing more importance on fitting dampeners you unfairly favour scouts with more low slots. This is because so many useful scout modules are in lows that can't be used if all low slots are dampeners.
There is already talk of nerfing scanning whilst cloaked and increasing decloak delay.
Personally I think if scouts need more nerfing CCP should go after the tank modules on scouts. Add scout only penalties for fitting hp mods, like extra speed reduction for plates and extra shield recharge delay for shield extenders. The goal being to prevent scouts stacking tank mods. The way the game works now encourages hp mods on scouts. By this I mean the fact that hp isn't a percentage bonus, coupled with scouts small hit box, good speed and regen. You get much more benefit adding 66 shield to a scout than to an assault. |

Profile and precision are rounded to the nearest whole number, ties go to the scanner. So your example scouts would both be scanned and would need to activate a cloak (adv or pro) to avoid scans.
Cal scouts only have 2 low slots, both used. Minmatar scouts would need 3 damps and a pro cloak, they only have 3 low slots. This is how things stand now. |

Sorry, got that wrong. A Gallente scout needs 2 complex dampeners, an active proto cloak, and Gallente scout lvl5 to avoid all scans. Low profile is their speciality. |
