Ok, not an oven, but @100 Hz offset, that ElCheapo Crystek is on par.
If it was a few dB better far out, it would outwenzel the Wenzel, 
phasenoise-wise.
-117 is not a heroic deed. And the oven makes it easier to get along with a
smaller tuning range, that helps a lot. Just forget these temperature corner
cases that are major stumble stones in XO design.
