I've done quite a bit of E-6 and C-41 in my CPE-2. It keeps the water temp 
at 40 C quite nicely (actually, I think it's 38 C). My room temp is usually 
around 21 C. When I switch from E-6 to b&w in the same session, I first do 
the E-6, then use ice cubes to bring the water bath temp down to 20 C 
quickly, let it stabilize for a few minutes while I'm loading the b&w film 
into the tanks, then I'm ready.
