With a 25 history with Davis gear, why would you change vendors ?

I'll also add a WH41 and a WH43 (or ambient equivalents) ar quality sensors.

Easy - you can add a PurpleAir now and integrate it pretty easily into 
weewx.

Not true as of weewx v4 which has air quality elements in the new default 
bigger (ie, 'wview-extended') schema, so that is actually pretty 
straightforward now.

All comes down the usual price/size/look+feel/supportability things that 
only you can quantify.

It might be worth contacting Davis support to see if your existing 
console+logger can be used with a Vue or VP2 sensor suite.  You can get a 
Vue sensor suite very inexpensively if you look at places like Scaled 
Instruments and Scientific Sales.  Heck a Vue sensor suite is only $165 or 
so. A complete VP2 sensor suite is $320 or so.
