Default Non-OEM Spark Plugs

Has anybody had any problems after replacing the factory plugs with a different manufacturer? I believe the original ones were NGK Laser Iridium 7866, and in an attempt to save some bucks, I replaced them with Bosch Iridiums a year ago. I'm wondering if this could be helping to cause my idle vibration issues. I do remember noticing that the engine seemed louder after swapping in the new set. I'd hate to throw away a perfectly good set with only 10k miles on them, but if the engine will run smoother with the NGKs, I'm willing to give it a shot. Any thoughts?
