They must be because they are more expensive.

The SE wires are only $20 and you can them in a variety of colors.

There's a lot of debate over some plug wires making more hp than others. Personally I went with the new 10mm SE wires for the simple reason of just doing a 103" build I wanted everything new and wanted them in red instead of black. If there is any performance difference between plug wires, it would be to small to notice anyway.
