Save thermistor temperature offset in firmware?

I just upgraded my MK2S to MK2.5S+ a couple of days ago and while it all works otherwise perfectly well, I have trouble with prints sticking to the bed. With the exact same filament, the exact same settings, the prints stick well on my MK3S+ and it just occurred to me to see what happens, if I raise the bed temperature; they stick much better now!

I haven't done any actual measurements other than quickly trying with hand, if the two beds feel the same when set to the same temperature and the MK2.5S+ feels a little bit colder, so I wonder, if I can save a temperature offset for the bed in the printer's settings, if I were to measure it? I'd much rather save the offset in the printer's memory, instead trying to always remember to set a higher bed-temperature manually when slicing things, because I tend to be quite hare-brained and forget things constantly.

Before anyone suggests it, no, I can't be arsed to start compiling and maintaining custom firmware just for that.

My first idea:

If you don't want to change anything in the firmware, you could solve it e.g. as follows in prusaslicer (filament settings):

Yeah, I was thinking of the same thing myself, but I figured I'd just ask first. It's not quite as clean as just saving an offset in the printer itself, but it's a serviceable solution, I guess.
