I have an AcuRite, which I refer to as an AcuWrong, so I really can't comment on the Ambient. I've been looking at the Ekowit because it allows separate mounting of the anemometer and temperature units. I will say you get what you pay for. The AcuWrong has had three replacements of the aspirator fan unit, which includes the anemometer cups and solar panels, in three years and that's added up to about $100 to put things into perspective.
