I think the Scythe just became my ninja miner of choice and I've now got a reason to train cruiser level 5. 
I'm not so sure about the Bellicose, you're giving a gun bonus to a ship primarily used for a missile role. (Similar to Typhoon in that respect.)
Enough Minmatar players already ignore it in favour of the Caracal as it is. 
Edited for spelling.

TomB,
I hope Rupture will get this gun range bonus instead of explosive missle bonus, its our gunboat after all and it should be specialized this way.
Lets take a look at Scythe and Bellicose. Both cruisers can mount 3 Turrets, Scythe hast drone cargo for 1 harvester, Belli has cargo for 7 and a small drone as well. Assuming Minmatar Cruiser skill is at lvl4, Scythe gets 80% bonus per turret.
Is this better than Belli with 3 "normal" turrets and 6 harvesters more ? I dont think so. Some math, not taking skills into mind.
1 Harvester = 30 mining amount; 6 harv + 1 small = 195 units advantage for Bellicose.
1 Miner II = 60 mining amount; 80% of 60 = 48; 3x 48 = 144 units advantage for Scythe.
195 - 148 = 47 units total advantage for Bellicose.
So why use Scythe ?
Harvesters 1-2 million isk a piece and easy to lose if there's any kind of rat in the belt.
