spark plug change interval for expensive plugs

Have a '91 Honda Accord. The last set of spark plugs I installed were http://www.boschautoparts.com/Produc.../Platinum2.htm. They currently sell for $5 ea. at the local Advance Auto Parts store. These plugs have been in the engine for about 40K miles now.

I'm wondering whether these plugs can be expected to last a lot longer than less expensive plugs or whether they should be changed around the interval recommended in the user's manual.

I've noticed a slight roughness in the engine upon start up from a dead stop and when initially starting to accelerate from a gentle cruising. I imagine this could be attributable to various causes.

I recently changed the distributor rotor and the fuel filter. The car has 271K miles on it.
