has anybody compared these 2 mic preamp/eq's?

How do they sum up ur mixes after runnin ur toys thru them?

We do hip hop here; beatmachines, keyboards and vocalz. And want more out of our sound(s). Right now we're just patchin into our Digi 002, which is ok. We want better.

Chandler LTD-1, Vintech X73 or Averill 1073?

I need to make a choice. I can only afford one of these.

It will be used on guitars with a Royer R-121

All feedback appreciated.

Any thoughts on which unit will hold its value the longest?

Do any of you pro in here own or have opinion about these pre? I am about to buy either one but need a little more help in seeing which one I should get. I rented a Neve 1073 and love the sound but can't find one, more like, can't afford one. so I have to settle for either of these.

any suggestion?

thanks
