I think of them very much as 'worm bobs' Skip, in that they are still one of the best worm floats I know of.
The problem with using a normal float and medium to large sized worms is that the perch will often take the worm quite clumsily and appear to play with it first, having multiple stabs at it before committing and the buoyancy in the upper part of the float is a good indicator of what's happening down below.
With a more sensitive float like a straight peacock waggler it runs the risk of submerging and looking like a positive take before it has actually materialised.
That's my take on it anyway.
The old rule still applies though and you can never have too many variations on a theme...
This very thread sprang to mind whilst watching the video in the link below.
I'm not knocking the fella at all and I enjoyed watching it but listen to his comments regarding missed bites from around 5:54 in and look at the float he's using...

I rarely miss a bite with the worm under a bobber, a textbook case imo.
