I don’t see it (the pricing) considering the basic station is the same design, going back to VP 1 when that came out in 1999/2000. I’d like to replace my ISS simply because its going on 12 years old, but given the step back many claim with the tipping spoon design of the rain gauge I’d be tempted to put a Rainwise on it and forgo Davis’ altogether. Considering the humidity sensor is shot given the longevity of them, replacing that and the temperature sensor would be nice. So far, no supercap leakage issues.
I have to say the new Davis rain bucket is much better then the old one. It doesn't follow my coco gauge exactly but it's much closer then the old one. I'm quite happy with it.
