I'm simplifying things here...but you really only need to worry about the temp inside the humi.  The temps of boxes/cabs/whatever will even out with time.

Exactly.  And only worry about the humidity inside the box not the humidor.  Especially if you have a cooled humidor, or vinotemp humidor I would recommend everything be in a box or closed drawer.  Boxes and covered drawers provide a defense to humidity fluctuations.

If you are interested there are at least two very good threads at Cigar Asylum in regards to cooled humidors and humidity.  One includes a week long testing of temp/humidity in a vinotemp versus inside a box and drawer inside the same unit.

The changes inside of the boxes are buffered compared to the T/RH in the cabinet.  If you keep it closed up and stable they will be equal.  If you open/close the cabinet and the temp/humidity in the cabinet changes you'll see a difference from the boxes till things stabilize again.
