That seems to have solved the issue, and the smoothness graph in INPA showed a big improvement. I'm sure if I hadn't done anything it would have developed into a proper misfire with codes, but I'm happy to have taken care of this before it became an issue. Especially since it's going to be 120º on Tuesday... I don't want to deal with anything when it's that hot.
Original coil with 200k+ on it?

My coils didnt last 80k...
