Default Electric Propergators

I have recently bought a Sankey electric propagator & I have noticed that
the heat generated is much higher than my other propagators.
In my heated greenhouse which runs at approximately 62F the soil temperature
in the Sankey can rise to nearly 95F.
This compared with my large Parasene propagator of 80F which is about the
same as two other small cheap propagators.
It is noticeable that the seeds germinate quicker in the Sankey but they
also look more leggy that the others.
What is the ideal temperature for a propagator.
