Volume encryption only protects against stolen disks, which is... highly 
unlikely.  (The only scenarios I can think of are USB drives which get lost 
in transit -- think "station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway 
-- and law enforcement seizing the computers.)

TDE, though, protects against hackers who break in and try to slurp out as 
much data as possible.  Still pretty unlikely, but within the realm of reason.
