I agree that after change Scavenger is better model - 100% with you on that.
But when I compare what they took from Levi (1 x , instead 3 times, resurrection with less health + conditions still on model, lower range on Ruinous repairs) I think +1 stat on is not enough. I know it's difficult to compare two things in vacuum and other models / keywords interactions are important. But at least for me, If I would have to choose between 3 x (also to dmg) that can be used on any action or +1 stat on 1 action, I would select .
I know this may sound strange, but for me they gave Levi some unique (maybe too strong) toys and bashed them to be very generic. It was very similar in M2E, he was nerfed with similar approach. For me it's very bad nerf, because it kills key part of master.
I hoped for a nice new things in Levi2, of course Horsemans are great and very fluffy but at the same time they couldn't find better use for totems.
That nerf and less usefully totems in Levi2 made me salty. I really hoped that if something is wrong they will take Youko approach and redesign cards, not only do cuts/increases here and there. I think that this discussion won't trigger any change in next errata's, but at least I (and few other folks) could steam off. It's really hard when you stick with master for 2 editions and he is getting errata in both.
