Getting Started with DRPA - what do I use the PEQ for?

... if anything.
Hi,
Just getting started with the DRPA (arrived this week) though reading this forum over the preceding weeks has given me a good head start.
System setup
Allen&Heath GL2000 32 channel desk
QSC RMX 2450 amplifier.
Pair Turbosound TXD-121 speakers.
Crown Powertech 3 amp.
Pair JBL JRX118 Subs.
Setup in a church with all the resonant frequencies that involves.
So far just using the GEQ, AFS, X-over and Limiter. Followed the instructions for setting Gain Structure and Limiter settings as per the \"Start Here\" thread in this forum, set the limiter threshold to +6dB which seems a bit low to me (any thoughts?).
I've had a play with the Auto EQ, but I don't currently have a proper RTA mic, I used an ATM33a which does not have a flat response so not recommending this to others, and yes I know this is about the worst thing I could ever do with the Auto EQ I just wanted to see how the Auto EQ process worked. What it did do was find the room's resonant frequencies (which I had found earlier using Bink's Audio Test CD and a basic spectrum analyser) and reduced these on the GEQ. I've ignored pretty much everything else it set on the GEQ especially the low and high frequencies and finished the GEQ setup manually by ear.
The end result is nice and a lot tighter than what we had using our antiquated Peavey Q231, so far so good. I'd still like to try an Auto EQ with a proper RTA mic sometime, may try and get one second hand on EBAY.
Anyway the question I have is about the PEQ, I've not used it yet, I know what it does but don't know why it would be used. So I was wondering what other users on this forum have used the PEQ for.
