FWIW, I have my stock L36 coils on my car. It does make sense that they might not have as much spark as the L67 coils because I can't run as large of a gap as others with the same setup. However, I have had no issues with power, and swapping them back and fourth should make no difference as far as being "sluggish". You may possibly get a miss if you go from the stronger coil to the weaker one, but nothing a little spark plug gap can't fix.
