The thing everybody seems to not want to address is the coolant
boiling out of the radiator neck...
I put both thermostats in a pan of water, they both begin opening
around 165F (the old one maybe slightly sooner) and are fully open
at 180F. If they're busted its in some manner that I can't see.

Did the coolant boil out after burping and with a good cap on tight?
There was a thread some years ago with Herr Doktor where he advised
us all to check our pressure caps and replace every other year on PM
principle. I don't know the fizzicks, or thmodynamics, but he
assured us a mercedes (at least 123 or newer) with a faulty or loose
radiator/coolant bottle cap will overheat.
