I keep my discus tank at 86 degrees. I do think they can be kept in a community if the tank mates are very peaceful, don't outcompete the discus for food, and are not fast swimmers. Unfortunately that rules out most tank mates! My discus look very happy, eat well, and never hide. But I do think that a community tank must be planned carefully around discus if you are to have any chance of success with them. Your setup sounds great for your angels, but not so much for discus. I'd skip them, or plan a new tank specifically for them.
