The bigger problem is with almost all DJ mixers, clipping the mixer will sound truly awful.
Panda does have a point, at least in certain dance circles (big-room housers & trancers). I've heard the louder-is-better thing a lot, particularly with touring DJs, who're mixing a lot of slammed CDs and then the vinyl (or quieter CDs) sounds low by comparison.
OTOH, I've had a pretty good year underpunching the RMS levels (around -12 on average), for whatever that's worth.
