Hi all on the ASWF Community i am looking at buying a new eather station that updates more frequently since i miss alot of wind data i have my eyes on one tell me what you think

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Davis Instruments introduces the all new Vantage Vue™ weather station, combining Davis’ legendary reliability and toughness into a station that’s easy to install and use. Vantage Vue is fully featured, highly accurate and affordably priced. It has frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio technology, wireless transmission up to 1,000 feet (300 m), weather updates every 2 ½ seconds, a glow-in-the-dark user friendly keypad, on-screen data graphing and numerous other useful features.  
Made in the USA, the Vantage Vue includes a sleek but tough outdoor sensor array and a distinctive LCD console. Its unique Weather Center function provides additional information on each weather variable. In addition, Davis has made the Vantage Vue radio-compatible with their flagship Vantage Pro2 weather stations so you can mix-and-match most components!
