I don't know if the size is a good or not so good sign but I will be interested to see how it all pans out. Just from observation of reports over many years, it seems the monolithic brick style is more prone to ICM failure than the coils, and the opposite is true of the individual coil style, where the coils are more prone to failure. Maybe from being driven harder to produce the greater output?? It would be nice to find something that combines all the best traits in one package.

It's possible the sensor is bad but I don't think you have a problem. The temperature rise you are seeing is sometimes referred to as "heat soak". It is normal and is caused by the coolant flow suddenly stopping while the cylinder heads and cylinders are still really hot. That heat has no where to go so it starts raising the temperature of the coolant in the engine which will show up on the temperature gauge.
