The price of those individual spark plug coil amplifier noodgies. I love -riding- in a V10 Ford van - the engine idles so smooth I can't even feel it. But I make myself scarce at the gas pump and I grin and shrug when one of those nightmare spark plug conspiracies goes seppuku.
Coil-on-plug units are not particularly troublesome, generally speaking. Many modern gas engines use them. They eliminate the plug wires, and their periodic replacement and other annoyances. I'm not quite sure what you mean about their price, either; aftermarket ones can be had for $5 apiece or so, and Ford OEM ones for under $40 with a very quick search online.
Dealing with the spark plugs on a Ford E series chassis is no walk in the park, I'll grant, since they're all but inaccessible. I suspect the Chevy engine installation might be a bit easier to deal with for that, though I haven't checked for myself.
