I don't think the temps are overly concerning.

"For example, a 180 degree thermostat begins to open within three degrees of 180, so 177 to 183. By 200 degrees, the thermostat is fully opened. The operation of the thermostat, open to close, is a range of about 20 degrees, so with different temp ratings, you can fine-tune the run temp of your vehicle."
So if my gauge is just a little off and reads 205, maybe that means the temps are fully controlled and the thermostat is just fully open at that temp.
I like having some heat since I drive on cooler days frequently and it also seems to keep the oil a little cleaner to run a warmer thermostat, but it would be interesting to see if I tried a 160 whether it ran any cooler or still floated up to 205 or so.
