Could you elaborate on that, Bob?

Is the Paragon II phase noise much lower than the Paragon?

The ARRL only reviewed the Paragon (not the P II) and it was the  
first review for which they measured phase noise!

They pointed out the initial results weren't that good but a change  
(to the 723 voltage regulator) improved the further out noise but  
made the close in noise worse. But this fix was made to production  
Paragons and offered as a fix to owners. The device under test was  
serial 084 so pretty early in the run.
