Thermostats

Can anyone think of a good reason to run a 195 thermostat in a first gen in Canada? (currently -40)
I have looked all over the net and can only find a 180 listed for the first gens, it appears that the 195's I find are all for the second gens.
I'm sure a second gen 195 will physically fit, but what about driveability issues running the first gen so hot?

I don't see any problem with it.
