Default Advice please

The cheap and cheerful option always looks appealing. I am first to admit.
When it comes to safety and aviation I am somewhat surprised to hear that a
£400 expenditure is considered too much. I believe inthe addage you get what
you pay for . I have owned Davis instruments for 10 years now and have
little trouble. I doubt whether the cheap and cheerful equipment will give
you trouble free and accurate readings for this length of time, so
realiabilty, accuracy and robustness must be considered when purchasing any
wind recording equipment. £400 is not expensive when you consider most
professional recording equipment at airfields

I probably should have added that I bought the second one and it works
fine. It also was on special offer at £70 until recently. The first one
doesn't have USB/PC interface.
