If im correct 70F is about 21c.

I wouldnt say thats a huge problem. My cold end drops to 18 in the night, 20-22 in the day.

It has been suggested that another heat mat is used in the cold end, set to maybe 22.

Was thinking about this last night.

What I do is keep my whole room at the same temp as the cold side, with a electric heater & stat.
Considering a 2nd heat mat though, to give a more precise temp, because these winters are getting colder and colder!

Yes get one if you're doing this for the cold end exclusively. Your heating bill will be more than the cost of a new heat mat for cold end!

Seriously though, 20-21 is ok. Obviously a degree or two would be prefered but since you have a spare stat for your electric heater you may as well spend £12 for another mat.
