Has any one tried the Vintech 473? I really want some 1073 pres but I can't afford to get the real things. Would the vintch be a smart choice?

Thats a tough question to answer. If you love the TAC's eq then I would save my money for straight mic pres and buy more channels.
But, until you've used another style eq, you may not know what you are missing. All eq's have different qualities.

I suppose it depends if you're to type of person who doesn't like to eq too much to tape and would rather do most of the eq'ing on mix. If so, then buy the pres.

But if you're like me and don't have a problem commiting tones to tape, then an extra eq with a different flavor can be very valuable.

I think the above points should be thought about.
Hope this helps,
