A good point, though I doubt that you did what you recommend-and that's what triggered the criticism. I found no bad or good reviews specific to the Monark wide plugs. Did you? I have no firsthand knowledge regarding those plugs. Nobody that I know does, and nobody here, including you, has claimed to have any experience with them. For all I know they could well be crap, but since I don't know, I don't endorse or condemn them. You don't seem to know any more than I do, yet you deliver a blanket condemnation with what appears to be nothing behind it. The OP seems to be the one member that has installed them, so we'll see what he thinks down the road.
As for the current availability of the Bosch plugs, their availablity or lack thereof implies nothing, and what you want to suggest is hardly fact.
