I've got an undervolted 100W CPU running fine in mines so I'm assuming you should be ok with a 65W CPU in one. If it runs too hot you can always undervolt it a little or buy an 80mm case fan that pushes more air.
 
Using speedfan to read temps and prime95 to stress test I was getting 38C at idle and 67C after an hours stress test with prime95. Hope that info is some help.

My personal opinion is to go with the 35W powered CPU if you are going for the wesena itx-2 and if you don't want to faff about with undervolting because there very little free space in there. If you are going for the ITX-7 then go for the 65W option and a low profile cooler.
