Default Maybe another try at getting home thermostat

Just before winter hit my old Maple Chase thermostat died.

So I thought I'd go out and buy a big brand name... Honeywell

Purchased 5-1-1 Day Programmable Thermostat - RTH6400D

To my surprise this thermostat didn't have an option to set the
temperature difference to startup. The old Maple Chase I think had a
difference variance to 1 to 3 degrees.

So now using the new thermostat I believe the furnace cycles to
often. Keeps the house at a more stable temperature level, at the
expense of the furnace kicking on and off.

I've looked around and found White-Rodgers/Emerson 1F97-0671 7 Day
5/1/1 Day Non-Programmable

This thermostat looks like it only has a variance of -

Heat (SS1, MS2) 0.4°F 0.6°F 1.7°F
Cool (SS1, MS2) 0.9°F 1.2°F 1.7°F

Any body have any suggestions.
