How do the low budget mic pres (lets say everything under 1000) hold up against the built in pres of the FF400?

I know that the FF400 pres are extremely neutral and that there are allot of low-end pres with all sorts of clone flavors out there.. but say you were to run a color full mic like a 'Sm7b' threw the FF400 pres to get a flavor..
How does the actual sound quality of the low-end pres hold up against the FF400 pres? (If we dont consider the color/flavor of the pre)

And would the FF400 pres be able to give enough gain and good results with a 'Sm7b'?
