Same thing here with the dealers, all they want to sell is NGK's.
The problem comes when changing between NGK and Champion, ie I know an N3 is a cold Champion plug, but the number go the other way with NGK, so an 8 is is cold plug,(the no.s go bigger when colder, just one more thing to have to remember). Add that to the fact that when you go to an automotive place to buy a plug, the desk person may cross reference across the wrong lin in the book and thereby the customer might end up with the wrong plug and bam! heat sieze.
Stick with the one, the only one, Champion...
A quick tip, the numbers add up to 11 so if you use an NGK B7 the champion equivalent is N4. Therefore B9 = N2 etc
