If this allows exactly the same warm-up speed to 90C as the factory thermostat, sounds like a winner.

I was trying to understand how it works as well. I think its the spring that expands when heated up closing the valve (so no oil bypasses the oil cooler). different spec spring makes it close earlier maybe.
I'll take some shots with my macro lens when I receive mine and see what the difference is.
