Default buying a new weather station?

As I've said, I'm reasonably happy with my WMR 928, given the price. But
if I'd had the choice of a Davis VP at the price John Dann is currently
offering, it seems to me to be what the chaps over the pond would call a
"no-brainer".

Although it does appear that to connect the VP to your PC you have to
buy an add-on at a cost of £176, whereas that functionality comes as
standard with the Oregon.
