The sleeved one is really designed to help warm the car up quicker, a
nice thing in the UK. Here in AZ I use a regular 165F thermostat &
block off the return line to make sure all the water goes through the
radiator.
TeriAnn has a nice piece on her website that argues the positive side
of the sleeved version. http://www.tjwakeman.net/TR/index.html
