I love the fact that limited control (IN level + OUT level, couple of other parameters) ends up generating such a result.
I read one day someone saying "It's like liquid"... Yah something like that
Vinco is so sweet!
Boring post I know, but I really had to post that I am really happy with Vinco... It is lightyears beyond any compressor I tried!

A former discussion on Vinco.
I like it. I use it alot these days, more than when I got it. Vinco certainly does marvels to the lower zone. Probably has some sort of non-linear frequency resonse. Somehow, I've got used to the habbit of putting strings through vinco.

I haven't looked into Optimaster too much, but from what I know, Vinco and Optimaster are 2 very different solutions. Simply put, Vinco is single band, and optimaster is multiband. Though Vinco does seem to have non-linear frequency reponse as I've said before, it's fixed. On the other hand, Optimaster's is more flexible.
Vinco is more for individual instruments, but sometimes works for final mixes. It does colorize the sound to a "Vinco" sound. Works for some material, but won't work for all. Adds alot of warmth. But it's more of a channel device, in contrast to a finalizing device.
Optimaster is specifically built for final mixes. It's a multicomp, like finaliza, but a much more complex one. Usually used to boost signal or to customize a mix for a specific playback system. (like department store cheap speakers) Optimaster will give you LOUD mixes. You can also use it to pre-prepare drum samples so they sound all beefy and stuff.
Also, their DSP necessities speak for themselves I think. You can load a bunch of Vincos, but I don't think you can do that with Optimaster because it's much more DSP intensive. You'd only need one instance of Optimaster anyway cuz you'd be finalizing.
