I don't turn the heat on if it's 40 or above and we just run the space heater during those days for a bit if we have to. Otherwise we do similar to you so I think you're on the right track.

Do you have a secondary heat source? With the size of your house might be worth it.

Unfortunately with renting no secondary sources. I'd put in a pellet stove as a stop-gap measure with oil prices high if I owned, but not gonna happen with a rental.

The first floor is quite a bit open and space heaters won't run well unless start hanging blankets.

Damn. Because otherwise yeah, I would say go for it. We have a pellet stove and that was going to be my next suggestion. I think you're doing well with the temperatures as you have them.
