I've been running on a Acu-Rite 5-in-1 for a couple years.  A few months ago, I bought a Vantage Pro 2 and now I'm ready to switch my weewx install over to pull data from it instead of the Acu-Rite.

Beyond backing up my config file and database, which happens every night anyway, just looking for any gotchas to watch out for when transitioning from one to other.

ie. Should I start with a fresh DB and combine the data later?

Thanks for any pointers!

Just run wee_config with the --reconfigure option. Definitely don't start a 2nd database. 

Graphs may show a slight jump over the transition from differences in calibration. Nothing you can do about that.
