That one is starting to be real money, the problem with even thinking
about spending several thousand is that the next step is to start
thinking about spending 5 to 10 times that much and getting a really
nice one. This year I want to keep it down to a few hundred dollars,
maybe as much as $650, something like this

One of the other reasons that I'm thinking about this is to protect some
tomato plants from blight. Last year I nearly lost everything to early
blight. I read somewhere that protecting plants from wind and rain reduces
the transmission of blight, can someone comment on this?

I am not sure that a greenhouse is going to keep late blight away. The
spores travel through the air and you cannot keep a greenhouse closed
during the summer. Today I checked the temperature in the greenhouse
and it was 134°. The outdoor temperature is about 60°. Check this
site on late blight.
