I have an Avanti 34 bottle. For Temp control I am using this:

Works well, and you can adjust the temp range. I ran the temp probe up the drain hole, taped it to the back wall of the cooler than sealed the hole. Tested it right after set up, it cycled about once an hour and i live in the Florida heat and it was in a back room with allot of windows.

The highest my cooler will go is 64F. I'd prefer to keep it at 70F, but I don't know if I could justify spending $80 for a 6 degree difference. How big of a difference would those few degrees make?

I believe its personal preference. A slightly lower temp I believe would be ok as long as Rh was maintained. I deal with the FL heat so I do what I can to control both. I am sure you will get as many answers as there are members here. Good luck with your setup.
