+50000, i was actually thinking the exact same thing a while back, just never liked throwing numbers around.
My frame of view as to why this SERIOUSLY will effect me:
As a Minja, you can't just pick the Std suit and do good, you might as well not have a suit, Hp notwithstanding.
Either i fit 2 damps and have 0 speed increase, or i buy a Proto suit and fit that one kincat i need.
One damp is useless, so cant go there without not going at all.
Precision fit Calscouts/minjas/whatever, you can't fit these without running a Proto suit, or a Adv in terms of Min.
Sure, you could say 'you wanna scan a scout,? Buy a proto' but that's not the premise of the game. I want to be able to super specialize my cheap suit to do one thing, and one thing only. Why should i be debarred from that, even if doing so meant fitting...fitting mods in the lows so i can fit 3 cx precisions and a Basic Combat Rifle?
For my MinAssaults as well, some "playstyles" necessitate say, a 3rd low(armor plating, shield regulator, damp) while others just absolutely need that 3rd equip(needle/nano/rep tool)
Telling a Logistics that he can only do a certain task at prototype is just unfair.

So i can get a cheap proto suit, awesome
Sure, you can have the slots, but Godd Luck fitting 3 Complex Shield Extenders on a M-1 scout, or a Viziam on a A-1 assault.
Doing that, you'd both be wasting low slots on fitting mods and you'd be raising the ISK cost to be near that of a normally fit Adv suit.

@Doctor Day, Tiericide in most (usually correct) cases is, in one way or another, limiting the EXTREME power upgrades you get from moving up the tiers, for example how the original Amarr Logi only had a Sidearm at Proto, or how the Min Logi only has 4 Eq at Prototype
Sure, we can say thats the benefit of having a Proto suit, but not only are you getting that, you're also getting more PG/CPU.
In EVE universe, you pay 20x more Isk for one more slot, or for 100 HP more, or for a bonus to something different.
In DUST, you should pay that premium for ONLY the extra fitting space, and not the extra slots.
At least, thats what most of us proponenets of Tiericide want.
The other group, say, want to simply remove Std/Adv tiers, leaving us with Mlt suits, (vastly price reduced) Basic frames, and (probably price increased massively) Specialist frames.
This leaves us with practically a copy-paste of EVE's system, where you pay for a normal ship, but have to pay vastly more for a specialist ship(that 1 extra slot, or 100 Hp, or different bonus)
I hope this explained it right, and at least correct in where i tried to be correct.
