INTENSE and ZZP both offer the same Tstat. It'* superior to 95% of the market. The reason is simply because the open diameter is larger than the traditional '2-point' Tstat most places offer.
Yes, it is compatible with the S1, and yes it is a big benefit. Simply going to that style with a 195 would be better than what you have.
Comparison:

Left: Standard HIGH quality Stant 180. Right: INTENSE 160 (heavily drilled).
DISCLAIMER:
Zilla will not have to change thermostats twice a year. Zilla gets to go into the shop all winter, and not emerge until spring.

I am now in the NON-enviable position of having seasonal thermostats. One of them for 4 months of the year, the other for the rest.
