If you don't care about internet reporting, remote viewing, or app on your phone you can get the vantage Vue with display console for less than $300. Or buy they weatherlink later.

You not like mine?
 
I'd definitely like the remote viewing and would participate in the Internet reporting - I like those group effect things. App on phone - why not? That could certainly make for interesting moments. "Here we are in this downpour 20 miles from home, the weather station reports it's dry AF there. I have to see this shit."
*I'd like to see data from the people that live in that cold "trough" near me.
Yeah it's pretty cool. One note: Davis like every cloud services company these days charges a fee if you want remote/internet reporting faster than 15 minutes. Basic plan is every 15 minutes which is free. 5 minutes or 1 minute updating is like $4 and $8 respectively. Those paid plans also include historical data storage. You can even upgrade somebody's else's weatherstation to report faster which is kinda cool. I haven't yet decided to upgrade.

@fly above - this is yours? This is the one I considered more colorful. That other one reminded me of an old-school fish finder.

That is a terrible adjective to use then, as mine was obviously waaaay more colorful. :lol:
I consider your's cluttered due to the mix of colors - which adds little and takes away much. A box of crayons isn't colorful, a bright yellow dress is. They were trying too hard.
Josh's is bright with color(singular), with the data clearly contrasted against it. imo ;) I suppose Josh's is more retro - like a monochrome monitor.:lol:

You did say colorS.

That said, I don't really care. It works great for me. Easy to read, easy to integrate with my home automation, and easy to publish to WUnderground.
 
I find the Davis display is dated. Backlight can be turned on or off. I keep it off as I don't know if leaving it on all the time would cause it to burn out quicker. Would rather have colors like that accuright or whatever brand that @fly has.
