[time-nuts] Not so cheap GPSDO's

Moving upscale to more well known models that cost quite a bit more, I
see several Z3805A units. It looks like more than one type of OCXO was
used in these. Which variant would you recommend?

The less expensive Z3805A's look like they have been beat to crap,
before or after being pulled from the scrap pile. I'd worry about
damage to the OCXO in these. For more money, yixunhk has some nicely
packaged units and AFAIK he has a good reputation.

Another from yixunhk is this Z3816A for $350 w/shipping. This package
looks similar to my Z3801A:

And finally, for $440 w/shipping, yixunhk has this nicely repackaged Z3815A:

Comments on all of these is welcome. Of these "Z" units, which one
would you buy, and why?

Thanks again,
