Davis+VantagePro2+vs.+Vantage+Vue

Question
What are the differences between the [|VantagePro2] and [|Vantage Vue]?

Answer

 * 1) The VantageVue is a newer model and was designed to reduce cost and enter the low cost weather station market without sacrificing quality.
 * 2) The VantagePro2 allows you to expand sensors, such as UV, solar radiation, additional temperature and humidity, leaf wetness, soil moisture and soil temperature sensors. The Vantage Vue is not expandable.
 * 3) The VantagePro2 offers a cabled version ([|6152C]) and fan aspirated version ([|6153]). The Vantage Vue has only one configuration ([|6250]).
 * 4) The VantagePro2 anemometer includes 40' of cable and can be separated from the rest of the sensor suite for convenience. In addition, a wireless anemometer transmitter kit ([|6332]) is available for the VantagePro2.
 * 5) The VantagePro2 console incudes more information, and is larger. The forecast ticker is only available on the VantagePro2 model.
 * 6) All other aspects are nearly identical (performance, accuracy, resolution, range, wireless range and software connectivity).
 * 7) There is a hybrid of the 6152 console and the 6250 VantageVue and is available here ([|6251]) that allows you to expand sensors (temperature and humidity, leaf wetness, soil moisture and soil temperature sensors) and acquire the additional information from the 6152 console.
