There's a lot of bullshit on this topic. So I'm wondering if running at 215 (winter, indoor, 40º outside) is gonna be ok. I think I will be going with a 160 in the summer, but 215 seems higb to me!

Looks like we are in the same boat. I am basically waiting til summer to see how it does. 215 is not a bad thing. It allows the oil to get hot enough to boil off water and fuel in the crankcase. But like you a little anxious about summer time.
