Miniz is right there is no differences with 10k on iridium or copper plugs. If you do coppers next time it will only cost you 10 bucks for all.

Why not use a multi-electrode plug?
Multi-electrode plugs reduce the percentage of misfires by using surface gap technology/multi spark paths. Due to less then perfect fuel/air mixtures a single gap plug allows for more power strokes that don't ignite. From what I've read, single electrode plug fired gasoline engines have unignited power strokes of 5% to 6%, 4 electrode plugs reduce that to 2%. They also require less voltage to fire due to surface gaps (the spark jumps across the insulator surface where there is lower resistance. An additional downside to single electrode plugs (central position in the combustion chamber) is the fact that the ground electrode blocks flame kernel path to the center of the piston, reducing power/fuel economy. With plugs positioned to the side of piston center, a common practice is to index the plug to face the flame kernel to the center of the piston face. HP/TQ gains of 2% to 3% on dyno tests after spark plug indexing are common. QUOTE>>>>"Spark plug manufacturers have succeeded in extending the life of spark plugs and fouling resistance by going to high-temperature electrodes made out of platinum, iridium and other exotic metals. Platinum is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. It also resists chemical corrosion and electrical erosion much better than ordinary steel alloys, making it an ideal material for the electrodes in long-life spark plugs. Iridium is even better. Iridium is six times harder and eight times stronger than platinum. This allows the use of a smaller center electrode, which reduces the voltage required to fire the plug by as much as 5,000 volts compared to a standard spark plug. Spark plug manufacturers also use a variety of different electrode configurations to reduce misfires by exposing more of the spark and flame kernel to the fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber. Extended electrodes, surface gap electrodes, multiple electrodes and specially-shaped outer electrodes are all different techniques that are used to improve ignition performance and reliability." Questioning Misfires | Tomorrows Technician Saving a few dollars by installing single gap plugs is penny wise, pound foolish with gas prices these days. Not to mention the performance loss. Bosch Platinium Iridium Fusion, 4 electrode plugs are about $5 each. Just installed a set 3 days ago.
