What are your thoughts about bumping up the heat range over the stock plug because of low RPM and light load operation?

The stock heat range factors in a wide range of conditions, including extended high RPM running, to ensure safe maximum temperatures. Consistently running much lower RPMs and loads should put the temps much lower than optimum with the stock heat range - you'd think.
