I am running the Perrin oil cooler on mine, but for summer I have replaced the mocal thermostat/spacer stack with a one piece non-thermostatic sandwich. I allow the car to warm up for about 4-5 mins before I head out and am up to operating temp rather quickly.
A lot depends on the local climate I guess.
33C (92F) ambient here today saw my oil temps up to 98C (208F) and that was cruising at 110 km/h (70mp/h) on the highway. Hooning in the hills pushes it over 105C (210F) easily . I also have to deal with high humidity as well, so I deem my Cooler necessary, although I may swap back to the thermostated sandwich during the winter.
The P3Cars vent gauge is also a handy way to keep track of temps/boost/afr etc.
