Another solution. I use a tempering valve to control water temperature. You
can get them at any good plumbing supply. The valve goes between the hot and
cold water lines and tempers the hot water by adding cold as necessary to
get the desired temperature. My IsoTemp water heater came with one and I use
one at the shower to keep the temps constant. An added benefit is that
you'll save water by not having to spend so much time adjusting it. If you
want real luxury use a shower fixture with one built in. Be sure to tell the
plumbing supply people your operating pressure and flow rate as some are
sensitive to these things and won't operate correctly on low pressure/flow
rates.
