I've been running RHP only (with no hot spot) for the last seven years and haven't seen any negative effects at all. If anything, the BPs tend to be happy with the constant ambient temp. Regardless, to each their own but I do think that there's a much easier solution.
Because that's what every BP guide on the internet says basically. Warm side, cool side, hot spot. That's what you read everywhere. It's basically the gospel of BP keeping. According to these guides.
And I just adopted it and got used to it.
