Are the Iridium spark plugs worth it?

From what I have found I can either get the CR9E spark plugs for about $15 or I can get the Iridium CR9EIX for $32. Does anyone know if they are really worth double the money?

NO
(p.s. I will add to Brandon's recommend.....I get autolite 4303's at my local advance auto for about $1.53 a plug. Iridiums are made for ultra lean burn, high service interval fuel injected engines. The tiny electrode tolerates NO extra fuel.....leave enrichment (choke) on for a bit too long?...plugs fouled.....jetting a tad rich, and the ambient temp goes up 20°? ...plugs fouled.)
Take the money you thought about spending on them and buy a piece of safety riding gear
