A voltmeter usually won't tell you that there is a problem till it's almost to late.
an amp meter will tell you right away what the draw is on the battery or the state of charge.
I prefer to have both, that way you can diagnose a problem as you go. so's you can make it back to the barn before things start to smoke or die.
The reason that they don't put them in newer vehicles is that it is not economical as you have to run the large positive alt or gen cable to the meter itself.
