with a 180* thermostat youll run in the 190-195* area. with a 195* thermostat youll run in the 205-210* area.

im from canada so mines in degrees celcius, same as the op, so i figured it would be easier if i explained it that way instead of in degrees fairenheit

I think you just need to understand how inaccurate the dash gauge is. If I read my temp with a scanner, it reads right where it should around 190-195°F (with 195° stat). But the dash gauge reads 160-170°. Nothing to worry about or anything you can fix. Just something to understand and live with.
