Isn't the end result that a receiver with much less attractive phase noise

Am I missing something?
Yes... keep in mind that the Orion low receiver phase noise means that
there are "fewer internal osc signals" (phase junk) to mix with the
incoming RF, giving you purer reception. So, a simplified (but not
extremely accurate) way of looking at would be that your reception would be
50% better! If the adjacent channel "phase noise generators" were clean
then you would then be 100% better.... (as I said, a simple way of
looking at it) :-)
