I didn't include a budget as all the stations I've looked at are under $500, except the Vantage Pro 2, and I could stretch to that if it were the recommended solution, but it appears that to use it for my case, would mean the station AND a new WeatherLink module (arghhh) so the price really hits over $1k, which seems a bit steep.
I have the old Weatherlink that works with the old Vantage Pro, but it looks like it isn't compatible with either the Vue or the Pro2!
