The Logic Off Topic list

Hi,
     This may sound stupid, but I'm wondering why do we even use VU Meters? I understand that it shows us more of the "comon" level but shouldn't we really be watching the peaks to see where the level is too hot? What do we get from VU that we don't get from PPG? I'm just a little confued as to their uses. I understand what they do now, using them is the problem:-P Thanks!!
