Well, it doesn't give an extra 66% ammo to the 98L. I thought of the ROE + 98L by comparing it with the RS.
The RS has 26208 kill power while weighing at just under 600WP. The 98L has 21492 EN attack power by itself and weighing just a bit over 600WP. Now if we add the ROE it becomes 740WP and has a total of 28656 kill power and an added EN drain of around 200 points. The difference of 125 WP for an extra 2000+++ damage potential seems fair enough for me. Not to mention that the RS has an instant ping time and a shot velocity at least 100 points higher than the 98L, has just around 100 equip drain, and does not drain per shot.
The ROE2 on the otherhand gives a bit too much for the 98L, increasing its total EN kill power to around 35000+++, which is enough to kill any AC when all shots land (Its not likely that'll happen, but with supporting weapons in the mix, it does help destroy the other AC much faster). Come to think of it, for almost 860WP the 98L + ROE2 isn't so bad as a primary weapon... Maybe allow bladers to use it?
EDIT: Now that I've compared the 98L to the RS, adding the ROE2 on the 98L doesn't seem so much of a broken idea as it used to IMO.
