Others have covered some obvious details. Different ellipsoids,

Depends on how accurate you need. I'll assume your estimate is perfect,
which is that your GPS is reading off by 22 meters.
The speed of light is 299,792 kilometers/second.
So to travel 22 meters is about .000,000,073 Seconds. Or 73 nanoSecond.
All else being equal, does a constant 73 nanoSec matter to you?
For comparision, a Trimble RES SMT 360 only promises 15 nanoSec (1 sigma).
If all you want is a stable frequency from your gpsdo then the offset
is not relevant.
