With bigger beers in particular I think allowing fermentation to warm up towards the end is important to get the attenuation you're looking for.

Lately, I've been fermenting at approx 60 for about a week and then bringing the fermenter out to let it rise.  Usually peaks at 68, maybe low 70s depending on the outside temp.
