Question Plugs for a ss 3.2?

CR is 9.8 : 1 on this SS 3.2 with 964 cams and CIS.

Engine runs well with the W5DC but I am wondering if other plugs might be recommended.

After about 2000 miles, the plugs look good but slightly dark-soothy indicating rich mixture?

What about a W7DC?

Why are W5DC recommended for 1980 SC's but after that Porsche called for W7DC?
Hotter or colder plug?
CR was the same after 1980: 9.3 : 1.
So. why different plugs?
