Any radiator can be safely run at 80 degrees as long as you don't
touch it.

You can touch LST rads, which is also good for children.


You can touch any radiator at 80 degrees and unless infirm in some way
will move your hand by reflex before any damage is done.

Children do this precisely once, and there is no need to mollycoddle
them.

There is no magic about LST radiators versus putting a standard
radiator in a cabinet. If you compare Myson LST radiators with the
equivalent sized Premier HE, the output is about a third less for the
same size.
This is similar to the recommended derating factor for cabinets.

But cabinets look naff

I agree, but radiators are hardly things of beauty anyway, are they?
