About 6 years ago I bought a La Crosse PWS for about $150. I think it was a good value for the price, but now I would like something with more capabilities in terms of analytics, connectivity, and interoperability.

At the moment I'm fixated on these components from Davis Instruments:
6152 Vantage Pro2 station
6510USB WeatherLink
6511 Agricultural Software Module
Shopping around, you could purchase it for US $700. If you needed to measure evapotranspiration, then you'd pay another $500 for soil sensors.

I'm wondering how this compares with what some of you folks are doing?
