I agree with you on the cleaner burning, but copper is a far better conductor
than platinum.  The main reason platinums are used is that it lengthens the
service interval.  Also, dont expect an increase in performance by switching
to a different plug.  It just does not happen.  Also, dont expect/believe all
the hype about Jacobs ignitions improving performance, either.  Just more
snake oil in a different bottle.
