I politely disagree with this Byron.  I do not transplant until one or two
set of true leaves show up and keep the heat on until a few weeks before I
start taking the plants outside periodically.  No scientific backing as to
why, but I have always ended up with very nice sized, healthy plants that
end up with very good yield.  Oh yeah, and in addition to heat I keep an
oscillating fan blowing lightly over the seedlings.  I helps to avoid the
little gnat looking bugs and I think it helps form stronger stems
(generalizing from the method of not staking small trees).
