Guess it boiles down to personal preference
Over at the Food Lab, Kenji did some research - via mixing methods you can manage to set the outer white at those temperatures and not just the inner white: http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/10/sous-vide-101-all-about-e...
Personally I normally cook mine to 63, and yes the white can sometimes not be perfectly set. As with everything there is some unit to unit variation.
Also, the sensor might not be calibrated correctly, I have a reference thermometer (therma-pen), but won't bother calibrating a toy setup when I have a proper one ;)
