John,

Since the same company makes both Stant AND Robertshaw, what will we do now?
As I had mentioned a year or two ago to the list, Stant thermostats now looked
like the Robertshaw does, and vice versa. It used to be that Stant's were
brass and the Robertshaws were tin looking, and now that's reversed. When I
talked to a knoiwledgable NAPA guy not too long ago, he said that Stant made
Robertshaw their better brand and Stant their low price brand, which explained to me
the switch in how the two looked.

Steve,

It's not relevant as Robertshaw and Stant certainly aren't part of the same company. For our purposes, at least, the RS gives us better cooling, and they were never connected to the former Smith and Wesson debacle.

Personally, I believe your NAPA guy didn't know what in the heck he was talking about, but I understand the need to give credence to someone who should know, and/or usually knows.
