Fighting words!  I totally disagree with you.  What is important in a noise 
transistor is lack of 1/f noise.  I once selected through a batch of 50 
2N3904's to find the flatest spectrum.  The weakest signal one was the 
best.  I made the mistake of  paying for a 2N2712, and it is terrible.  A 
strong output, but a horrid spectrum.  I never thought of trying a 
supertransistor, but I should have.
