For my technical friends here at Corvette Guru. Are Iridium plugs worth the extra price?

I'm changing plugs in my MX-5 Miata and factory calls for platinum plugs but lots of people on the Miata forums seem to be spending $$$ to buy the iridium plugs. I bought some basic 3year Autolite Platinum plugs for $10 for all four.
Iridium plugs are at least $8 each. Are they worth the Xtra cash?


Years back I did dragstrip back to back spark plug tests with multiple different plugs....for my application, as long as you had the right temp spark plug for your engine, I couldn't detect a difference on the timeslip.

I will say, if you have old plugs, I did notice a slight difference just going to a new plug. (any new plug) I had 20,000 mile plugs twice, both times, new plugs found me a few hundredths.... which isn't much, but it was detectable on the slip.
