Well, I haven't personally tested it, but it fits with things I've read in several places.
(I think I have a couple set bonuses on Eri I could test it with, but unfortunately I only have one computer that can run CoH, and it's busy right now.)
I think the bonuses are certainly worth looking at, at least in some cases. The really good stuff tends to be super-expensive for melee/rangeed damage and
healing, but a lot of the other sets are much less expensive, and some have fairly useful bonuses.
The advice I've read is to try to get IOs at around the level where they become SO-equivalent, because that way you aren't sacrificing effectiveness
relative to SOs while having the bonuses as often as possible. But I don't think I'd worry about that unless the bonus was going to be extremely useful
while exemplared. And depending on what you're doing, having better enhancement values when you're not exemplared might be more valuable in the long
run.
Or, to put it another way, "This is why it took me weeks to decide how to IO Eri Silverwing." '.'
-Morgan. And if I had enough inf, there's still a ton of changes I'd make... Well, at least I know what they are now. '.'
