Wow pricey. Picking a number might depend on which actual sensor is doing the logging as well. I can find a few $$$$$$ vendors that can do sub 1-second measurements but not really anything in normal consumer cost ranges that are faster than Davis 2-sec wind if that helps any.
I can't speak to Tom's design goals other than to 'guess' that he wanted to support whatever the vendors provided.
