e3 Sparkplugs?

Has anyone tried these? I guess how I could see how the design would allow the initial combustion to protrude into a more centralized area of the combustion chamber, but I don't know how much that would do performance wise. Have these plugs made any kind of difference for anyone?

The electrode is set up differently that the area under the electrode is just an open diamond shape, rather than having the ground right below the electrode. I believe this makes the explosion spread through the combustion chamber more efficently, but I'm wondering if this really makes that much of a difference. Here's their website

Yeah, but then you have 2 more electrodes on the side blocking the igniting gases :-\

Just like the Bosch+4s it's a marketing gimmick to get you to spend more money on something that someone else already made.
