No one person is the expert that i can tell.

Lower temps are always a good thing with any system but there are a few differences to consider between the articles 13yr old approach and todays. Those guys were using relatively small tubes with an extended misting duration and coarse mist. A small chamber choked with wet roots would be very susceptable to issues from high temps. A large chamber filled with superfine mist every minute or so will fair much better unless the nutes in the accumulator are way above room temp.
My chamber temp is currently 71.2F with 97% RH, over the last 2-3days the min/max hygro-thermometer in the chamber recorded a maximum 81.6F with 95% RH and a minimum 68.4F with 96% RH. My roots are in slightly better shape than theirs.
