However, the experiments have proven that giving the BS scanner a significant advantage in scanning distance was used by traders to circumvent interaction with pirates. And that is detrimental for the game.
It would not feel like soooo overpriced, if it at least had +1k distance, or even +2. For the large transports it makes no difference, as they turn so slowly, and caps would have that little moment when the enemy snubs cannot yet see it.

and then it should get its stats back to how they were before.
Personally I do agree that transports shouldn't be allowed/able to mount battleship scanners, for what ever reason you choose (avoiding interaction, realism, etc). That being said I believe that's one of those "its not going to change don't get your hopes up" type deals.
I believe Jacks layout is most reasonable. Again, personally I paid for an expensive scanner because it was best on the market, and now its a fancy cargo scanner, some sort of bonus should be allowed given its vast expense, otherwise I would like to see the price brought down within the closer to the price of the other scanners given how similar the battleship scanner is to them.
