Doug,

Except that the heat spreader doesn't really help the die temperature.

It should, if it is working as advertised. It must have better thermal conduction than the heatsink, and help fan out the energy flow from the die to the heatsink; giving a larger and more efficient energy collection area on the heatsink side.
