    True.

    Less heat into the storage blocks could be an issue on very cold days as it could mean that the room never gets to the desired temperature.


    Not really.
    A stat takes ambient temperature into account which ensures that the supply to the heater will only be switched on when the ambient temperature is below the set point.

    On the other hand the timer will switch the power on to the heater at the appropriate time regardless of the temperature.

    timer or input stat can adjust stored heat similarly

    good link there


    "Storage heaters (dynamic as well as static) are therefore equipped with what is known as a charge control thermostat. Using this, the temperature to which the core temperature is heated when charging can be limited"

    also describes the thermostatic control of 'output' for comfort
