Trimble's spec sheet for the Thunderbolt says:
Holdover
±1 microsecond over 2 hours with a maximum
±15°C temperature change Some customers, such
as CDMA manufacturers, have historically mandated
tighter holdover requirements than specified on this
datasheet. For increased holdover performance, please
contact your local Trimble representative.
So I conclude that it's not in the same class as the Z3801A
It's probably a nice addition to the toy collection, especially if you have a
good antenna position so you don't care much about holdover.

Piezo has been borged by Vectron.
I haven't found a spec sheet on that part number. Has anybody seen one?

says:
NovAtel recommends a high-stability clock such as the PIEZO Model 2900082
whose 2-sample (Allan) variance meets the following stability requirements:
3.24 x 10 -24 s 2 /s 2 between 0.5 - 2.0 seconds, and
1.69 x 10 -22 T s 2 /s 2 between 2.0 - 100.0 seconds
(the 2 after the s (4 places) is superscript, same for the -22 and -24)

says it's single oven.

I wonder if that's better or cheaper.
It might be worth getting one and checking it out before a big order.
