Assuming that phase noise is coming from the VCO, shouldn't matter if the
divide is happening in your SDR divide-by-for or in the Si5351's output
fractional divider.

higher phase noise that the Si570, but nonetheless

nice performance (however I use it in IQ-SDRs where
the phase
noise is divided by 4 by the QSD).
