There is an interesting addendum to this. Now, you can get LARGE numbers of unslotters, especially just from the vip/vet thing. The unslotters take the place of respecs in places where you just want to gank a few ios and move them around. It may not have happened yet, but when people start taking into account unslotters, I think the value of respec recipes will start to fall.
For me - and this is a personal observation that I'm willing to accept is entirely unique to me - Unslotters are virtually useless.
If I'm changing a part of a character, it's not to slot a single different IO. It's to rebuild the whole character - probably including slot / power choices, but maybe to take out one whole "set" and replace it with another "set", which is still easier / more efficient with a respec than with unslotters.
That might be because Unslotters are a whole new way to look at redoing a character, and I haven't sufficiently expanded my views, yet.

But if I could sell Unslotters I probably would.
