No reason other than we (like other manufacturers) use the same parts for
multiple applications if possible.  The 238B meter is the same one we used 
as the
Omni/Paragon s-meter.  The RX-340 and Orion use the same meter movement.

On the big Titan II/III amp, we had some much available front panel real estate
that putting large single movement meters on there was a natural.

So - nothing against them, just no application at present that we can't 
handle with
other meter movements we're using.
