BMP/E atmospheric pressure

Regarding https://www.mysensors.org/build/pressure
In https://forum.mysensors.org/post/94368 itbeyond noticed that the example code and the buy link do not match. I investigated why and noted that in https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples/commit/724a7a426353b0a95912bd3b1fc1d7e6157b5f48#diff-259a14457e388a34591bd048f5a4635f the example code was changed from BMP to BME, but the text on the build page was not changed so it still mentions BMP and has buy links to the BMP sensor.
Should we change the text and the buy links to use BME? The BME is slightly more expensive, but can measure humidity which the P version cannot.

@mfalkvidd My thoughts are change the Buying Guide and related text to the BME it is a much better sensor with Humidity included and is only slightly more $. I have ordered some BME's and will be testing the provided sketch in due course.

@mfalkvidd it was changed from bmp058 (which is end of life I think) directly to bme280, so it went from pressure only to environmental (including humidity).
I personally have good experience with bme280, but is roughly double the price of the bmp180.
I have to look if libraries support both bmp180 and bme280; if so we could combine support for both sensors on this page/sketch.
