Gaussian mocks seem to be noiser than e.g. lognormal mocks on large scales when sampled with readout: https://github.com/adematti/mockfactory/blob/7df2a96bee83db561a64188a2c5491777852c2ce/mockfactory/tests/test_gaussian_mock.py#L118 even with unitary amplitude. Most of the scatter disappears when removing RSD. To be investigated.
