For sure, I get that. The reason in this case is that when I moved it over I felt I had to turn it up too high to get the gradient to move all the way over to the cool side to get a proper balance. I moved it to the middle but favoring the warm side a bit more and it seems to get a really good spread throughout. 85-88 on the warm side and 77-80 on the cooler side.
Not sure if it's due to the CHE wattage (I got the 60w for now) or my apartment and the big cool counter top she's on. There is UTH on the warm side as well (sitting at 89-90), so I figured as long as she has the warm spot dialed in, the ambient gradient like this should still be comfy.
