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?

www.weatherstations.co.uk has a lot of useful information for Davis
equipment
http://tinyurl.com/4qqmd is a link to the Weathermatrix forum for Vantage
Pro
If you look at the Davis website http://www.davisnet.com/support/weather/
you can download the Weatherlink instruction manual-and lots of others as
well.
Follow the current thread on 'weather station software' on this ng

All the best
