You can look at it a few different ways..LOL If your not going to be doing anything more to the car like adding headers or a cam of anytihng that requires a tune then the expensive plug will in most cases be in there a long time and so the investment pays off.
BUT if your going to be tuning and runing different things that might say fowl a plug or dictate you go to a colder running plug then the TR55 becomes the economical solution.
They dont last as long but are inexpensive to replace and IIR copper is the best conductor? You will need to repalce them sooner than the more expensive plug and lets face it, thats not a total joy sometimes, but its not like you need to swap themk once a month..LOL unless its in your race budget and your swapping them everypass

i orig put the Bosch 2x platium in my car 35K miles ago. When i went to swap them out last weekend for TR55's (just routin maintanance) i found out that they still looked like new. I even compared them to brand new Bosh 2x platium plugs and they looked the same (just dirty). Car runs fine (knock on wood).
I would have swapped them out anyways if i could have gotten the boot off of #8. The guy who did my plugs 35K miles ago never put the grease on the boot, so the boot was seized on. I didn't feel like cutting my wire off (didn't have another one and they're MSD), and i didn't want to risk breaking the plug or ripping the wire. THAT was when i decided to check my plugs and found the ones i had were fine.
w/e you decided to do/use, do yourself a favor and put the electric grease on the plug. It makes the job easier. Luckly my plugs are fine and they don't need to be changed. When i do have to do them, i will need new wires.
