Evans Coolant contains no water, so specific heat (heat capacity) is less than 50/50 AF currently in use. So heat transferred via radiator should be less at the same engine temperature.

Evans (per their self-provided on-line spec sheet): 2633 J/Kg-K
Water: 4182 J/Kg-C
Since C=K degree per degree, only -273 IIRC, that difference is meaningless.
So water is approximately has about 1.6 times the heat capacity of Evans.
Somebody tell me why Evans is better for anything? Lower vapor pressure so that you can overheat your engine worse with no cooling system puking?
Note that Evans coolant also does not support nucleate boiling, which is a good thing for heat transfer coefficient.
Sounds like a money-making snake oil for the under informed to me.

I would check into the flash point on that stuff. I think it's like 240. I have run it in a race car and caught on fire from a small leak (pressurized, not dripping).
Obviously ethylene glycol has a flash point as well, but at a 50/50 mix I believe it is over 280 degrees.
Before all of the users of this product jump on me, I'm not trying to say there's a greater propensity for fire because of the coolant, I'm merely stating that the flash point is lower.
If I were you, I would look into the suggestions about improving your system.

Or, just accept the fact that 210 is fine and drive on.
