That's a generic issue with the SM system; there should not be a 'rope exception'.

Realistically, a 2" rope is easier to hit than a 2" sphere, because for the rope there is one direction in which scatter matters, for the sphere there are two directions. This should probably be worth about a +2 to hit. Thus, given that hitting a 2" sphere is at -7, the rope should be at -5. If this is a problem, complain about how easy it is to hit the 2" sphere, not how hard it is to hit the rope (obviously, 2" is pretty thick for rope, but that was the OP).
