Hope HP01D barometric sensors

Anyone used the Hope HP01D or HP03D barometric pressure sensors?

They seem to have resonable specifications for their low cost - I wondering what if any shortfalls I am overlooking.

Looks like a copy of the Intersema MS5534B with I2C interface instead of SPI. Accuracy is about the same, pretty bad compared with what you can do with a properly compensated Freescale ( Motorola ) MPX2100A sensor, a low drift amp and a good ADC.

What accuracy are you looking for ?

I'm looking for a quick & dirty, so the digital interface is attractive.

Accuracy? - not real critical, more a learning experience, value / dollar is important. I found another sensor by VTI, the SCA-1000 which has better accuracy, at 4 x the price. Maybe the way to go. thanks.
