Thermostat

I had a bad thermostat that was leaking from the housing. I got the old one out and cleaned everything up. The only replacement I could find that weekend was a autozone one. The temp now reads 188 running down the road and 186 at idle. Should I replace it or run with this one? I dont know if it will make any difference? What ya think
