[time-nuts] recommendations for master reference

I am currently using both Trimble Thunderbolt and LPRO-101 Rb references.
What I really would like to have is a rack-mountable unit that is a
GPS-disciplined Rb reference and a built-in NTP server. (Yes, this is for
my home. We are time-nuts, aren't we?) I could roll-my-own system for
disciplining the Rb from the 1pps of the Thunderbolt, and produce NTP
broadcasts on the LAN but, frankly, I am going to be happier if I find a
unit where someone has already done the heavy lifting AND done a better job
with the filtering to reduce GPS-induced error in the Rb output.

So, if you wanted a rack-mountable reference with multiple 10MHz outputs
that is a GPS disciplined Rb and an NTP server, what would you look for on
the used market?

Oh, I suppose I would go for a Cs reference if I could find one at the
right price. I'm not picky. :-)
