performance cdi worth it?

I've messed with aftermarket CDI's, but I've gone back to stockers. I've studied ignition curve theory enough to understand that an adjustable CDI could give me a little more power throughout the RPM range, but I'm totally happy with how the bike performs right now. I'd rather take the route that leads to greater longevity, which is a rev limiter.

I've installed NKG plug wires before. I'm not sure that there is a performance improvement; I did it for reliability. They are much more supple in cold weather, whereas the stock plug wires get quite stiff. The cool part is that the stock wire unscrews from the coil, so you're not splicing wires.
