That would work, but the advantage of my approach is that the
hall rapidly gets close to temperature, then takes a long(er)

The problem with your system is that it requires a reasonably sentient being
to operate and adjust it, which makes it fine for someone such as yourself
who understands the interactions between the various valves and temperature
sensing devices and knows not to fiddle after it is set up.

For an installation by an engineer for your average spod with no
understanding on how central heating and TRVs work, it would be hopeless.
The first thing most people do with TRVs is set them to 30C when they feel
cold, as they think they are on/off/power switches.

OK - I agree with your reasoning.

Over and out :-)
