I'm a broke college student, so I can't even begin to swing a setup like you've got. It does a ChemE's heart good to see someone using feedback controllers.

Anyway, back on the topic at hand. I think that your humidity is probably right on, so keep that going, but from my personal experience, the temperature may not have to be that strict. I have hatched four of four lineatus in the last couple months, and the temperature range for those guys was mid/high 60's to the low 80's. They seem to be pretty strong... but who knows.

Here's a pic of my bootleg setup. It's basically just a throw away food container with some gravel in the bottom and water in it. Then I put a sponge on top and punch some holes in the lid. It doesn't regulate anything for crap, which makes me pretty jealous of your humidity controller. The end result is I have to look at it every morning and evening to check the temperature. I hope this helps some.
