With nearly twice as many actual airport installations, SuperAWOS is the clear leader in UNICOM-based AWOS systems versus the dismal Digiwx where Belfort Instruments counts both demo sites & actual airport installations and lumps them into one category on their homepage under "Installations." If this isn't disingenous (to say the least), then I don't know what is.
Choose the LEADER (eg. SuperAWOS) or the laggard (eg. Digiwx) and get what you pay for!
nota bene: I can now see Belfort Instruments owners (Bruce R. Robinson, Nicholas C. Kaufman) and management (Mark W. Decker, Debra S. Alascio, Ralph F. Petragnani, William C. Gordon) instructing all employees (Tylor M. Burton III, Kelly Cole) to visit http://www.digiwx.com to build up site visits from here on out. That's why this comparison will be null and void from this date forward. But the past year (04/2007 to 04/2008) does paint a telling story about how dismal Belfort's Digiwx really is!
BTW: One should also wonder why Belfort Instruments installs many of it's Digiwx AWOS out of the USA internationally versus domestically. Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that foreign airports have much less rigid standards (than the FAA) for setting-up, operating and maintaining a Digiwx AWOS (Almost Weather Observation System)? Can Digiwx AWOS cut the mustard here in the USA where Belfort's "only" FAA commissioned Digiwx AWOS is "temporarily unavailable" a good percentage of the time as noted at: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aviation.products/msg/0fce243569f5...

That's been known for a LONG time. IIRC, he's had a couple lawsuits against him (still pending?).
