If your just looking to upgrade use a pair of Dyna coils with posh HT leads and plug caps.
I doubt anybody would notice a difference at ilde. Coils tend to break down at high revs where there's a "blurring" to the engine. That's to say the spark is slightly weaker and advaced / retarded due to the recovery time of the coil. Better coils can recover and discharge faster with a more intense spark. The HT leads and caps may have a lower resistance ...all of which adds to a better burn of fuel which will mean a 1-2% difference in power at the top end.
But if your bike's running ok then it's really not worth the cash as a mod.
