Kelly,

I have at least 60-70 hrs on the Iridium plugs and they are performing
flawlessly.  I pulled them out and took a look a few hours ago and they
looked great, so I put them back in.  As far as I'm concerned, Iridiums are
the only plugs I will use from here on.  This could change if I have to
start burning 100LL.
