That could be interesting to see. I have some 14awg solid copper, uninsulated and unenamled, so it would be pretty easy to use for heatsinking. I forget where or why I got it though. I would guess that it would do better than a penny sink, if done right, but I have no way to test it though. Some of those cheaper DMMs I have looked at while searching for a cheap hFE meter have temp probes, but I have no idea how accurate they are.
Tangent: What kind of temp. probes are those? Also, I cant tell from you writeup where you measured the temperature from. I wonder how much additional heatsinking effect you get from the contact with the probes. Very interesting results so far though.
