Sounds like this one is fixed.

Several folks have commented on the 80C tstat being preferrable ... occurs to me that the production tolerances in devices like this are likely +/- 3-5% = 2-4C.

Plus, is it really possible that engine operation will be affected pro or con by that 2C in a 82-110C operating range?
