all sky cameras

i am thinking that an all sky camera would be a nice addition to my observatory, mainly because i would love to see what the cloud cover is like but i would also like to do some timelapse photography. there are a few options out there from SBIG which is over $2K USD to Mallin cam which is about $300 USD. in the middle are the starlight express and Orion options. if i can get away with a $300 - $400 purchase and still be happy with the results then i am all for that. would love to get some feedback from those with some experience with these, and any i am completely missing

p.s. i know that ZWO offers their camera with a wide angle lens but i dont believe they have the necessary protection to make it a permanent set up
