I'll try to summarize:

lo phase noise is good:

it reduces unintended radiation from transmitters.
it reduces reciprocal mixing on receiving.
surveys during contests are very revealing.

The KX3 and K3 have similar very low amounts of phase noise.

Unless I want to make a career of it I should stop at this point.
Nothing is perfect.

thank you very much everyone.
