It really pays of to look into set io's.
If you take lvl 40 IO's you could do something like 2 recharge, 2 damage IO, 1 Mako's Bite Damage/Recharge and the numbers would be better then 3 damage and 3 recharge SO's,
At 40:
equal lvl SO: 94.93 both, IO's plus 1 set io: 95.2 on the recharge and damage and only 5 slots used.(well, would be over 100% if it wasn't capped.)
At 35
equal lvl SO: 94.93 both, IO's plus 1 set io: 92.44 on the recharge and damage and only 5 slots used.
So let's get back to lvl 40 IO's and see what you can do for optimal slotting (even disregarding set bonusses):P
Ok here comes:
-Positron's blast: Acc/Dam and Dam/Rec
-Detonation: Acc/Dam and Dam/Rec
-1 Endurance reduction IO
-1 Recharge reduction IO
Would yield: 48.25 Acc, 92,55% Damage 38.60% Endurance disc and 85.17% recharge time.
With normal SO enhancements you would need more then 8 slots to get numbers like this, so it's nothing to sniff at.

Exactly so when playing around with Midas an wanting to figure out max-min efficency of a slotted power I use SOs.
IF I on the other hand wants to figure out how to best slot a power I use everything and his granny.
