Yep, I think so too.
Since fitting the hotter stat, stalling issues that I had in the past have all but gone. Only occasionally will it now stall when the engine is still quite cold or has just dropped down from its fast idle after initially starting the engine.
Before, with the cool stat, I noticed that if just cruising the coolant temp could drop well below 52c but still show 2 bars on the temp gauge. The engine would often stall pulling up to the same junction on my commute to work
The "bar" temp Gauge gives a temperature range at best. Its close to useless.
I don't think the engine management system works well at these low temps and is much better once a decent temp is reached and maintained
