No, it's not my opinion.
It's fact.
Check out any of the stand-alone EMS subsections (especially Haltech), and they will all tell you that the FD coils are crap compared to the stock FC coils.
In this case, size does matter - the larger the coil, the more powerful / robust it is.
Also, if you're planning on keeping the FC stock ECU, you'd also need to keep the base ignitors.
Then you gotta do some fancy wiring to get the FD coils to fire, since they fire differently.

Ok thank a lot for this precision!
I will wait and buy stock FC coils!

they're very expensive new, look in the for sale section on this site, there are frequently coils up for sale and you could easily have a full set, leading and trailing, shipped to you for under $100, possibly $50 total if you're patient or fortunate.
