1.7.3 Was the end of an era. Beta 1.8.1 had many good mods too, as did 1.2.5. I wouldn't say that 1.7.3 were the greatest mods ever, since many updated and got much better. From what was before it, 1.7.3 was amazing. From what came after, 1.7.3 saw the end of many smaller mods, which were replaced by different smaller ones in 1.8.1 and above, which were pretty much wiped out after MC 1.3. Personally, I always found 1.2.5 the best for mods, but that's just my opinion.
