had an old Davis 20 years ago, then, move to AZ, and tried an acurite Atlas,(garbage)then a ws2000, (nice, but no way would last long), and went back to a new VP2, and, as others have said, stick with Davis, as you know how long it will last, and how "Accurate" it is..expensive, yeah, but, it just works, period, and that is worth something to most folks..
