Not sure what a bad humidity level is, real world: 60%? 70%?
I'm going to verify this (new) furnace can actually let me operate its fan only, I know AC can but we don't have AC. The reason I was looking at Nest (besides the fact I use to have one and I liked it) was the fine tuning of the fan programming. Seems it can do things like 15-30-45m every hour for whatever range of time you give it. Other Thermostats seemed to me more on-off...

Good to get that moisture out.
Some good suggestions on T'stats already and the DC drive motors (variable speed) available in some furnaces dramatically cut the cost of running just the motor alone. There are retrofit motors that will do this as well.
Remember that circulating all that air will require you to change filters more often than you would normally.
