having the MAC means that the 10mhz reference signal is going to almost always be 10mhz, and in any given second contain 10million pulses[1].
However if you're just relying on GPS's PPS and a standard quartz oscillator, then the 10mhz reference is going to wobble about.
[1] this isn't really true, but illustrates the point of stability.
