I quite honestly doesn't have a clue about how much more a VU meter with
attunuators would cost compared to one without, but it gotta cost more
simple cause it involves a few jacks and pots. look at the 180 which basicly
is nothing.

I totally agree with you lot that separate modules are better for
flexibility, but the way I see it the VUmeter display can't be 2 units wide
but rather something like 8 and I can't see how it should fill up the space
below and that is where I think it would be good to add the attunuator part.
It also makes sense economically cause rack-space is also a cost to consider
in a A100.

So I am all for separates if it doesn't mean a lot of empty blank areas in
the modules unused.
