May i ask what speaks about using PT100/PT1000 or NTCs?

NTCs are dirt cheap, but might need some calibration first, to
get to time-nuts standards. But PT100 aren't that much more expensive
either.

eg:
The NTCALUG03 by Vishay don't look too bad, or if you want PT100
the M310 by Heraeus. The KN1510 by Heraeus look also nice, but are
a tad bit more expensive (about 20USD/pcs)
