The first developer in the E6 chemistry I use has a +/- 0.3 deg. C 
accuracy spec along with the first-wash water (washing the first
developer).  Rest of the steps (and wash water) are +/- 4 deg C
which is pretty loose.  Last step (4th of the 3 step process) is
done at room temp (stabilizer containing formaldehyde and wetting
agents I think).

Not a problem (as far as I can tell) for the low end Jobo Processor
I use (CPE-2).
