+ve - they have tweaked the wire resistance (or something) to produce a fatter spark at the plug
-ve - been blamed for triggering the misfire sensor on S1 111s.

They also have very good engine end plugs that prevent moisture ingress. I have a blue set on my car.

I bought a set due to the old ones being perished, also heard they helped to conduct a better spark. To be honest not been able to tell if they make a difference.
If your current set are gubbed and needing renewed then I would buy a set, if not then don't bother.

I run KV85s - proper race spec - fat core - great spark conductivity - claim to give a more stable pulse to the sparks
Everyone jst seems to be up on them - Lotus OEM were Magnecor iirc so upgrade to fresh new leads was an east step.
I never see any data to quantify the reputation - I also recall Lucas used to make really nice comp leads years back..

Along with drinking the blood of your first born....
...or replacing the ECU with one that was mapped properly in the first place
