The precision 10 MHz option is handy if you don’t have access to a GPS-disciplined 10 MHz. As long as your external 10 MHz is clean, an external reference will generally perform about as well as an internal reference, and will perform much better for close-in phase noise (think 10 Hz offset). If your 10 MHz input is not clean, it may actually degrade your system performance.
