we do use the same temps for Mandarins as for Coxi. the problem we were having with Coxi, as strong multi-clutchers, was that females would throw eggs in the cooling season, and without access to decent temps, the eggs would be bad, so Coxi have a temp gradient year round, and in the cool season, it is quite wide, 55F to 89F or so, by way of overhead lights (red in winter). works great, and we get eggs that are good in the winter : )
as for temperament, i wouldn't call any of them Corn-like, but we see relatively calm animals as well as lively animals. it seems the more they breed, the livelier they get : )
