Why would the thermostat have a problem with 10 PSI if the 10 PSI is applied 
to both sides of the thermostat?

I suspect that the change was more coincidential with the pressure change.  
Using a more standard, off the shelf thermostat has certain economic and logist 
advantages (ie: you can buy one anywhere).
