Comment(by Alister):

 No.  That is for situations where you want to put different labels in
 different places.  This is for situations where you want to create one
 label from several fields, e.g. you might want to create a label for a
 manhole that lists its name, diameter, lid level, and invert level:

 > MH2
 > 1050Ø
 > LL 6.8
 > IL 4.2

 You certainly wouldn't want to have these as four different labels around
 the same point, and you wouldn't want to use four different labels with
 fixed offsets (especially if some of the information is missing
 sometimes), and it would be annoying having to set up four sets of labels
 anyway.
