the only advantage I can think of of iridiums is the possible longevity of iridium vs platinum vs copper. Some cars require an act of congress to change the plugs, and for not needing to change pugs for 100k miles, I would gladly pay more. That and the iridiums/platinums are supposed to give a stronger spark when worn out compared to same miles of copper plugs.
