I've not heard of any such studies, though can I ask you if you've done a
search on Google?

My personal opinion is that 55 (12.8C for the rest of the world) is
significantly too warm for long term optimum aging. I'd dispute
"conventional wisdom" or even that this storage temperature IS conventional
wisdom.
