Certainly a 16" MBP is going to be cooler than a 14", simply by virtue of the increased chassis area to circulate and expel air. Commensurately, a 14" will throttle before a 16" does--but I've never read anything that suggests that translates into legitimate "problems" with heat. Every laptop eventually throttles. It's part of the spec.

A quick question … would you prefer this ($1750) over an open box 16 inch M2 16 GB RAM / 512 GB from Microcenter (for $1611)?

These are very different use cases. The 16 inch will be heavier and less portable, but more battery life. Unless doing creative GPU intensive work, the M2 will be fine. However, might be worth going even lower and getting Microcenter's factory refurbished 16 inch M1 (I think that is 1300)–The performance is not much different between M1/M2.
Great. So compared to M1 and M2, 16 inches, you would prefer the former, mainly due to price difference - 1300 vs 1611?
The issue with the former is that I was not able to get warranty and Apple care from Apple as according to them the MC refurbished doesn't qualify for their warranty.
My hope with the M2 from MC is that I will be able to get the Apple warranty (as apparently it's a new open box, not a refurbished one).
Moreover, it's M2 (12 core CPU and 19 core GPU) as compared to the M1 (12 and 16 cores respectively), slightly more powerful.
Thx

Obviously, warranty is important. Personally, if it's M2 w/ warranty vs. M1 cheaper but no warranty, I would go M2.
I've been doing the open box hunt at Best Buy lately. Their standards have gone down -- TWO of the so-called "excellent" open box macbooks had either a deep gash or a dent. Definitely make sure you check it out.
