Based on my experience with 15" Marathons (thanks, Bobby), you will find cool tires to be the normal situation. And you will enjoy the feeling of confidence you get each time you touch them. You've made a good move.

Careful, though. Don't panic, as I did, when one of the 15" tires felt quite a bit warmer than the other (not hot, but WARMER)! Turned out that the tire on the sunny side of the TM feels quite a bit warmer than the tire on the shady side. I've noted this several times since, and each time I have to calm my racing pulse.
