Default weather stations, which to choose?

Hi all,

I am new to weather instruments and at the moment trying to make a selection
between different instruments. Among them are the WS3600, WS2500 of La
Crosse, the WMR928 of Oregon Scientific and the Vantage Pro of Davis.
My concern is the linking to the software. I have trouble obtaining detailed
information of the suppliers.
With those instruments is it possible to capture data, without have the
computer turned on and transfer these data at a later moment to the
computer?
If yes, how large is the buffer capacity in terms of days and sampling
events? Enough for e.g. a long holiday with data capture every 10 minutes?
Maybe I need to add additional temperature sensors. The websites are not
entirely clear about this. Is that possible with these instruments?
Are ther other important things I need to consider?

Thanks,
Hans
