It depends, I have bought the Chinese ones some OK some not, but the genuine Sensirion is Swiss made and is excellent. See Sensirion website. About £17.00 on RS. The filter cap is only a pound. BUT you will need some VERY good soldering skills and a PCB for the SHT11. It is really just a question of what you want and how much you want to pay. But at the same time recognising the limitations of the cheapest options.
I get most of my stuff off ebay; second hand research grade stuff, but you have to know what you are looking for be prepared to wait. Perhaps the best option is to build your weatherduino up, add on £20.00 worth of FO stuff (in UK cheapest from Maplins). Then search ebay for old Davis stations or better and replace the FO sensors over time.
