Default Denso Iridium Tough Plugs?

The IRIDIUM POWER, with its 0.4mm iridium center electrode and U-groove + tapered cut ground electrode, is a high performance plug providing ultimate running results.
The IRIDIUM TOUGH, with its 0.4mm iridium center electrode and platinum ground electrode, is a high performance plug with an emphasis on longer life.

The ground electrode of the IRIDIUM POWER has a tapered cut and a U-shaped groove on its underside, reducing the quenching effect during flame formation and providing exceptional ignitability.
The ground electrode of the IRIDIUM TOUGH has a platinum at the discharge point, suppressing electrode wear at discharge and providing the working life of a platinum plug.
Above is from the Denso website explaining differences between Iridium Power and Tough. The plugs normally used in FI applications is the Iridium Power IKH20, which is one step colder than stock. However, I found someone local who is selling Iridium Tough plugs for cheap, so I was wondering if I should jump on it. My car is currently making about 450rwhp at the current setup at around 11~12 psi. Any advice would be appreciated!
