same with me, but a single meter would be enough for me.
if there is a need for two meters, we can buy two
modules. this would save space and money, if only
one meter is needed.
buffered outputs would be nice too (2 normal outs and one
inverted out).

the moving coil meter is accurate enough i think.
for getting really precise information, you'll need a
digital voltmeter anyway.
the dc/ac switch is a must. i would mainly use it dc-coupled
with -/+ scale, but ac-coupling is important too.

the combination of attenuator and vu-meter is not a bad thing,
but i would prefer two separate modules for these tasks.
