It seems no one here has really expiramented with scanners. The Jintsuriki's value comes from it's ability to see far furthing in nebulae. Where every other scanner loses range dramatically as soon as you enter a nebula, not so with the Jintsuriki. Is this worth the full 250mil? Maybe not, maybe, it all depends on the aim of entering said nebula. As it is it could be reduced a bit, sure, but that hardening still comes at a price.
