While i think the MASC speed boost should be higher for the Scat than it is, i find it incredibly useful on the SCat anyway, simple for the acceleration bonus from stopped. When you jump, upon landing you come to a dead stop and have to accelerate - i often wait for that moment when shooting jumping mechs, because youll have a half second where you can alpha them very easily whereever you want without the need to lead. With the Scat, when i land im already holding MASC and the time to get to full speed is incredibly fast, pretty much entirely eliminating the issue.

The big advantage with MASC is the instant boost to max speed after landing from JJs, and when reversing or turning corners. The overall speed boost is too short to be important, but the manoeuvrability increase is quite substantial.
