Comparison of Davis Vantage Vue Versus Davis Vantage Pro2

Davis stations are high quality weather stations designed for both commercial and home use.  They are generally regarded as best in class and come in two main models the Davis Vantage Vue and the Davis Vantage Pro2.  

The main distinctions between the Vue and Pro2 are that the Pro2 sensors can be mounted separately from each other and the Pro2 also accepts additional sensors such as light, UV, soil temperature, soil moisture, leaf wetness etc.  The Vue is an all in one sensor suite and cannot accept additional sensors.  It can sometimes be beneficial to locate the wind and rain sensors separately (but is often not necessary) which is where the Davis Pro2 has an advantage.  The Pro2 is popular for farming/growing applications given its ability to accept additional sensors. 

Genuine Davis New Zealand products are made in the US and calibrated specifically for the New Zealand market and to meet local radio frequency regulations.  It is illegal to operate Davis stations purchased overseas in New Zealand as they do not operate on allowed frequencies.
