Thermostat Style

Okay experts. After some effort, I was able to remove my thermostat from my 1959 Thames 300E today. I'm not familiar with this design. I'm assuming it's stock as it looks like the one in the parts book. (Says "AC Made in England" and "176 degrees F" on it.) Looks like Kip Motor Company may sell that design, as their website shows the diagram from the parts book.

Theirs is $20.00 including shipping, and I'm only assuming what they're selling is the same as the parts book.
Questions: Is there any benefit to having that design thermostat in my stock engine? Can I assume there's a modern equivalent that will work the same and I can pick up at the local auto parts store?
Thanks.
