Wow I thought my offset/jitter specs were good!
Yours are outstanding.

I am using a HP thinclient (T150) with a 60Gb laptop drive shoehorned into it, just 10W to power it ;)

One odd system is enough.

> What were you using for a time source?  Does it have PPS support?

I have a variety of PPS sources.  The RPi is most often connected to a Sure dev. board.
David Taylor linked to  Hauke Lampe who did a kernel build with PPS drivers.

*The tables look okay here but are probably trashed there.
