Consider the price difference between the ship-mount sensor and a facility, not to mention the production loss the planetary psychic scanner causes by taking up a slot. A 20kT ship-board sensor will give you a range of 5, that's every square except the outer most rows and columns if you put it in the centre on a cheap 2000 minerals satellite! I think the planetary psychic scanner do too little for the cost and never use it!
If you want intel on a planet, just send in a fighter or something equally worthless. Letting you see everything with a simple and cheap sensor makes dull, boring and predictable game play. As I said before, I consider surprises part of the fun.
