keep in mind there is no UV sensor or sunlight sensor on the davis vue, and, even though the lightning detector is pretty problematic on the Atlas, the Vue doesnt have that either..plus, the nice color display on the Atlas is a plus for it..
I wanted to get a Vue as well, but in the Arizona desert, I wanted Sunlight and UV detection, and, the only way to get that on a davis is to step up and pay over 500..
