75 degrees = 68 degrees. No wonder I couldn't get things to adhere well sometimes.

As a side note, the temp varies wildly along the plate base. An enclosure would definitely help here.

Has anyone else tested the actual temps versus the set/displayed temps and noticed a difference?

Yeah tbh it didn't really matter what the number is tube by results not input. If you only get bed adhesion at 80°C there's probably an underlying issue but rock what you got. Haven't tested mine there's probably a variance off true value for a lot of people. No one can deny the results you observe. If people say say it to 75 and that's too low based on your observations either fix your printer if you trust them or crank her up.
