I can tell you that *I* would not waste money on a Fine Offset (1080, 1090) staton. Luckily Costco took it back (Nat Geo 265). I am trying the $115 Acurite station now. Other than a dud extra sensor that Acurite is replacing free of charge, so far, so good. But if you are in this for the long haul, Davis is the way to go. At about 4 times the cost, minimum.
