What are the advantages of using Iridium spark plugs over platinum plugs for this car is there any point?

I believe it's that Iridium plugs will last longer in service than Platinum ones.
The platinum ones are bloody expensive , so I dread to think what the Iridium ones cost.

Iknow they are rubbish,
But every now and then Halfords have a promotion on paltinum plugs, 4 for £20, which aint to bad.
Got to be worth having a look, saving cash

Or how about NGK twin electrode jobs?
SAy it again, Each plug gets fired twice in a cycle therefore is getting worn down twice as fast!
Using twin electrode plugs shares the load and reduces wear time.
Work well in my 2.0L.

i always used golden lodge for a high power use as there is no electrode bent around just 4 little legs at the sides and when you go to high revs the spark goes to the piston
used to make 12 bhp extra on my jag and 15 in a lotus 2 litre engine
just cant get them for the small sizes in new engines
