I have used multiple instruments to measure the temp in both humi's with the same results.
They all read the same temp as the set and forget as well. (within a degree)

I would think the location of the Aristocrat would be cooler since the Air conditioning blows directly on it.

That vent is sealed off from the furnace by a damper and vent cover for the winter.
There is no warm air flowing through it now.
