Vintech X73i

Since I have been planning on getting an X73 this really caught my
eye.  Found it listed at atlasproaudio.com.  The description there is
as follows:

"NEW from Vintech Audio! The X73i uses the same design as the more
expensive Vintech X73, but with less labor intensive parts. Built in
America (only 5 miles from us here in Florida actually), this is a
chance to get a great deal on an all Class A Neve type preamp with EQ.
Requires external power supply, which can power up to 4 units (we
recommend only two units on the PSU if using them aggressively for
headroom purposes, i.e. hard hitting drums)."


Anybody here know anything more about them?

The "less labor intensive parts" concerns me, but my real question is
the sound compared to the X73 non-i which I have heard.

For that price this seems like it could be a helluva deal.

Thanks
