Best method for Express - PPIMV or VVR?

[jem]

Which way is best to be able to keep the volume down?
I think the master volume type 2 thing is pretty simple to do, but read that it does not sound so good in an Express.
I'm only able to get above the drum volume on stage, (which is admittedly pretty loud with our drummer!)

I use two PPIMV in my Express and I love it.
One is always on, that is a type 2.
Other one is footswitchable, switched on top of the first PPIMV and is a type 3.

So I can tame the volume of the beast and set overall volume with PPIMV Type 2.
For backing/chords I switch on the second PPIMV to lower the volume even further.

I use it at home and my girlfriend doesn't like loud noises, this lets me get away with it...

I haven't tried the PPIMV on the X But The vvr to my ears sounds better than a attenuator. I would like to see a poll on the VVR vs attenuator.
