Question ideas or thoughts on switching to an external transmission cooler

hello, thought i would get other opinions. My 1998 vdp needs a new radiator previous owner slamed lower portion into curb or something, now it has epoxy and it leaks slowly. Anyway found a new 2 core/row aftermarket radiator on ebay for $105+30s/h good deal(especially here in s.texas were our fans have fans to keep them cool.jajaja)until it arrived and has no integrated transmission cooler. So now I can send it back and pay return s/h and 20%(b.s. restocking fee) or for the same cost I can keep it and add an external cooler. Normally I would think no big deal it will do better than the original. But after reading a ton of the trans oil debate and how oil temp is critical to oil level i wonder if over cooling could harm it. The unit i would consider adding on would be in the smaller range(10,000btu-three tube 12"x4" or so).Looking for threads on this, I saw other models/years have an external one. Any ideas or thoughts?
