So, you'll be pleased to know that the FTT display has two display modes. One with all the weather info in small letters, and other with only the inside and outside temp /hum, wind speed and direction in large letters. To comute between the two modes just briefly press the momentary switch (a long press on this switch will display remote system info: battery voltage and case temperature from TMP36). There are some nice small features to discover...

I do not think the old version is inferior. What I believe is that the new version is cheaper to produce. I use the BMP085 version on all my systems, and the tests I did with the new BMP180 gave me the same results.

Normally I also chose free shipping option. Shipping time is more or less the same as for Portugal, three to four weeks, sometimes only two.

I can't believe the mark up of Arduino parts here at our major component retailer.
For example:
Humidity & Temperature Sensor Module for Arduino @ Jaycar = $19.95
http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=XC4246
From Ebay (China) = $4.21 AUD and that's with free shipping!
In my country it's not differrent. It´s very difficult to beat China prices.
