Thanks Bob, As you guys mentioned its addictive ! 

I was planning to use these units as a quick frequency reference.. warm up for a short while and then use as reference. My GPSDO seems to be fine! I am comparing the GPSO with the Rb unit.. maybe the GPSO is off ?? this is a one clock, two clocks, three clocks comparison syndrome..
