Keep in mind that the digital meters (they can be designed to look like 
the curved analog meters) will show peaks much better than real analog 
meters.
Other than nostalgia about the old analog meters, I do not see any 
advantage over the bargraph type displays.

Now it will be like my earlier radio/audio days with these bouncing needle analogue displays to watch!  I am sure this feature will be worth whatever small wait we might have to endure.
