Seems that it be more likely to produce habitable eyeball planets than habitable Earth-like rotating planets - an Earth that was 50 degrees warmer might only be habitable at the poles, while an Earth that was on average 50 degrees colder might be a frozen wasteland all the way the equator - not to mention that seasonal swings in climate for temperate latitudes further decrease your options.
With an eyeball planet the acceptable distance from the star, heat flux, and other variables could produce a ring of acceptable climate even if the average global temperature was +/- 100C relative to Earth.
