I've never had and Oyster and never will, all my trips around London have been major cranking/track scratching sprees and from what I've heard it's just easier to get a Travelcard than faff with an Oyster.
Also don't rely on the 73 to get you there in no time, I took it as an alternative to getting the Victoria line so I could see things...didn't realise you end up seeing the same shop front window for 10 minutes before the traffic moves a few meters and it grinds to a halt again! Took me well over an hour to get to the cross, though I would do the 73 again if I had a lot of time to kill
