You can upgrade the oranges into purples. That's the "two different sets."
Everything is affected by the rule of five. If you upgrade oranges into purples and the set bonus is "Huge Healing Whatsit" and you already have five counts of Huge Healing Whatsit, then yes, it will be affected by the rule of five. Accordingly, some people are getting them and not upgrading them.
It's also worth noting that upgrading them to purple makes them account-bound.

No, they don't "conflict" with purple sets; you can slot both an ATO (or ATIO; same thing, some people just stick that superfluous "I" in there despite them not being inventions) set and a purple set with no problems.
The ATOs you buy at Wentworth's behave more like the attuned ones you can buy on the Paragon Market; you can slot them as early as level 10 and they always match your level.
Where the conflicting information might be coming from is enhancement catalysts (currently only available in the super packs, though that will change with i22); they change an ATO into a "superior" (better bonuses!) version of itself and, in doing so, make it require level 50 just like purple sets do. It also account-locks the ATO so you can only trade/mail it to yourself; un-catalyzed ATOs can be freely transferred to anyone you like.
Also, normal and superior ATOs count separately for set-bonus purposes -- so if you have a full set of six Dominator ATOs and you catalyze three of them, set-bonus-wise, you'll be treated as having the "3 from this set" bonuses twice, not the "6 from this set" bonuses. However, catalyzed and un-catalyzed versions of the same ATO still count as the same thing for purposes of being "unique," so you can still only slot one of each specific enhancement in you entire build, whether it's superior or not.
Confusing, I know. Hopefully that's clear....
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Thx Doc. That clears a lot of the cobwebs away. Easy decision on my part for my firstset. It fits perfectly into my build as an Orange. Since the whole build is an experiment anyways I want everything strippable.

So the six un-catalyzed pieces from a Set are considered same as the six catalyzed pieces of the same Set? That is, I could not use 2 batches of the same Set in my build even if I catalyze one batch of them?

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
Correct.
Blaster's Wrath: Acc/Dam is mutually exclusive with Superior Blaster's Wrath: Acc/Dam. Etc. etc. etc.

So, I log into Wentworths last night to pick up a couple 28 SOs on the fly between task forces. I almost fell off my chair. THe sets I thought I would never buy (I plan on buying few/no packs.) were for sell on the market. I bought a full set of 6 for my new Dominator project. I think I can replace a set of THunderstrike I have in the ST Hold and be much better off.
My question is about whether they conflict with purple sets. I have seen oposts that say they do, but the bonuses are not purple set bonuses. I also wonder because I have heard off ATO and ATIO. And somewhere I saw a post that seemed to indicate there were two different sets.
Any help is appreciated.
