It is, but the drop in temperature will occur naturaly without needing the function on the thermostat. A mat (on/off) stat is the most basic version and does the job well.

In regards to this, if the stat is set to keep the temp at 27-30, how does this occur naturally?? Or do you mean the temp in the cool end?

Because room temperature will drop, causing cold end to drop - creating an even steeper gradient of hot/cold

Does that make sense? Is it even right? ;p

Yes the cool end will drop, but its the ambiet temperature that will drop. The surface heat of the mat will stay fairly constant.
