In your opinion, is it a better buy when comparing it with the Davis systems??

I haven't reviewed any Davis stations yet - but compared to the Honeywell - it's easier to set up and the data has been excellent. Also the touchscreen is nice to set in your lap in the am - or during a storm - I also like the solar recharging on the main instruments.

HI THERE I THINK THE WMR-200 WILL REPLACE THE OLD WMR-918/WMR-968 EVEN THOUGH THEY BOTH HAVE TOUCH SCREENS THE WMR-200 HAS A BIGGER TOUCH SCREEN JUST LIKE MY IPHONE TOO AND THE DATA LOGGER UPDATES EVERY 15 MINUTES CAN HOLD A WHOPPING 436 DAYS BEFORE UPLOADING.
