Medium latitude (south), temperate climate.
Measurement Needs: Temp, Humidity, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Barometer, Precipitation
Station Needs: To be able to be connected to computer for logging, ideally ability to separate components of sensor unit (for ease of access to precipitation bucket for cleaning etc).
Two storey building so I'd guess the roofline is about 8m.
----
Assumptions (quite a bit of rounding involved):
House is about 12m by 12m at ground level.
Roof is slanted from from edges, to an ~3m long top to bottom peak in the centre.
Left side faces ~NW
Left side has a 2m metal outcrop beyond roofline, level with top of first storey for full length of building.
Left side has ~8m clear between roof and trees.
Trees at bottom half would be much higher than roofline, top half would be at or below.
Right side has a 2m metal outcrop beyond roofline, level with top of first storey for full length of building.
Right side has pretty clear line of sight
Top side has no metal outcrop, but only has ~1m between roof and trees.
Trees would go a few metres above roofline,
Bottom side has about no metal outcrop and has 8m between roof and trees.
Trees would go maybe 1m-2m above roofline.

I was looking at the Vantage Pro 2, but the Australian prices are quite steep compared to those in the US.
Placement I was thinking of the bottom edge somewhere.

So over to the pros (you guys).
Tips? Hints? Gotchas?
