poltergeist is on a distinguished road
I own a Wind Wizard (about $45 from West Marine, as I recall), which I don't have a lot of faith in. The little "fan" design of TrueBlue's SkyMate makes sense to me, and I can see how it could be pretty accurate. The Wind Wizard has the equivalent of a weighted vane, which I might trust for peak wind gusts, but find hard to believe for moderate, steady winds. YMMV.
