Good to see the results can be replicated. It looks like the scopes I was using (not mine, very fast test) used the 20%-80% times, which would be faster than the 10%-90% times.
I used 143ohms in series since the gate output is ~7ohms. I don't think that would make too much difference in practice - decoupling would make more difference.

I tried with a 74VHC gate but it is slower, I'm very happy with the results since 2.5V 500ps is very useful for many applications, it is a fairly cheap solution and aberrations are minimal which I consider important

Agreed.
You can also reduce the output swing by reducing the PSU voltage, but the transition time increases. Try reducing Vcc to 1V or so, and seeing if you get a 0.5V swing with 3ns risetime (and some "pre-undershoot" for want of a better term). You can go even lower, with some entertaining[1] aberrations :) The aberrations are gone by 1.7V or so, as expected.
[1] I'm easily entertained :)

4 outputs on top of each other ;)

4 outputs of what?
Why not use averaging?
PPS? And those figures don't seem to match the figures in the photograph.
