What do you guys think about reusing the factory thermostat in this aluminum housing from Billet Specialties?

That looks like another well made part that should fit the bill for us as well. Considerably cheaper as well.

I saw that part before making mine... unfortunately to get the lower thermostat you have to buy a $75 one from Mishimoto or buy a complete plastic housing from Motorad for $85-125 depending if its a 160º or 180º thermostat. Ultimately it will cost over $375 to get that version which is why I went the route I did.
