There are 8, 2 for each type, and the value of the benifits differ between the 2.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about on the crafting page for each rare, there are 6 different options. This is because you can use any 2 of the 4 available rare boosts to combine into your purple boost. They gave each of the possible combinations as an option, so you arent forced to pick a specific pair if you want the purple, but screwed if you picked something else. The only combination you cant use is two of the same rare boost.
Ahh, OK. My bad.
Why are there 6 different kinds of very rares to craft? They're all the same, I'm confused
