"Disadvantages compared to an already built station:
Construction requires some knowledge of electronics and Arduino programming environment..."
Not to mention that my soldering skills are a bit coarse.
Yes it's true. The WeatherDuino Pro 2 is also not for everyone, in the sense that "everyone" here means everyone that already have some kind of weather station, but it's for everyone that, at least have minimal knowledge about electronics, as the WeeWX also may be for everyone, that at least have some knowledge of the Linux environment.

Otherwise, the bottom line is that if there is no option I will have no problems giving CumulusMX a try and it's good news it's available.
I really understand your point of view, and mostly I agree with it. The more systems will work with WeatherDuino Pro2, the better!
Maybe we have started this question not by the best way, comparing one software against other, and because I'm very gratefull to Steve and to his work to support the WeatherDuino Pro2 system, I replied you with some partiality.
So let's start again...
In the first time (and unique) I tried WeeWX, I put myself in a completely knob position. I made a clean install of Ubuntu, follow the instructions and installed WeeWX debian package, and expected it runs... it don't run. I get some issues related to python, and I give up. Remember I had put myself in a position of a completely knob guy.
I'm not a Linux geek, but also I'm not a complete newbie. If I had decided to invest some time on it, I'm sure that I will end up with a running WeeWX.
Said that, I can't promise when, but I will try WeeWX again.
