Not only are they the only way to get a purple bonus worth of s/l, as far as I'm aware the only ultimate defense bonuses remain the ranged defense bonus from coercive persuasion and the various s/l 5% bonuses from the AT sets. This puts the most valuable kind of defense bonus into a class of its own, as if it weren't already. The fact that you can double up on them by going half orange half purple is just kind of silly if you ask me.
Oh! it's totally great for those going after S/L Defense or Range Defense on the ranged toons.

Sucks for the meleers who go after positional defense. IMO anyways.

For my WPs tho, it's awesome!

Well it works great on my kat/sr in beta. thanks to it (I was lucky to get six ato ench upgrade so it was superior one) I got a few slots free from my focused fighting to put on various spaces to increase my regen (from 17 hp to 22hp) and could even get combat jumping with only initial slot and give extra's to one of my underslotted attack power and i am still with %46.5 ranged and %47.x for melee and aoe. And I can imagine anyone using DA in katana for buffing up their melee defense it would be a great helpto put a few extra slots somewhere else.
