New Spark Plugs

I suppose you have seen the latest Rotax Service Instruction announcing the new spark plugs and connectors. It appears they are Rotax branded so bye-bye the $3 NGK spark plugs we have all been using successfully for many years. I haven't seen any pricing yet, but will not be surprised if they are priced around $30 each like Lyc and Cont plugs. Seems to me like a thinly disguised attempt to cash in on the maintenance market under the pretense of an "improvement". Thankfully this is not a mandatory change, and I plan to stay with the NGK plugs. I would really like to know what exactly the "improvement" is? It seems to me it would be very difficult to improve something that has never had any problem that I am aware of, is readily available, is priced very attractively, and is rock solid reliable.
