Coils,

There are differing types of coils out there, some more powerful than others, some with resistors, and some without. I think i'm missing the point/and/or confusing myself. What is the purpose of a more powerful coil if you have to just use a more "powerful" resistor along with it?

(currently running a bosch blue, with some 7.5mm wires, and platinum plugs. I will be upgrading this summer to Pertronix probably, and am wondering if there is any reason for me to upgrade to a red bosch, i think that's what they are, or getting a pertronix coil or something like it...)
