Water Temp Question

Hello, first post and hope it will be my last. I have a 1987 s-15, one owner, 142,000 miles, 2.8l V6 with automatic transmission. I just got this truck this past week and had been driving an 92 S-10 with same motor in it, only 5 speed manual transmission. My question is on my 92 chevy the temp would stay around 185 or half way between the bottom to the 210 middle line on the gauge The 87 i just bought wants to stay at the center line at 210. Rising to 220 then back down to just under to line. Is this to hot?
I have replaced to thermostat (195) and radiator. Does the auto transmission truck just run a little hotter?

Many thanks in advance,
Randy
