Why is the noise gain of these opamps 500? I feel it should be 250
Post Body

I wanted to check the bandwidth of the first stage of an instrumentation amplifier configuration and this is the circuit:

Since, the noise gain of an opamp is (1 Rf/R1), for each of the op-amps the noise gain should be 250. The GBW of the opamps is 1MHz. This should give us a -3dB bandwidth for each of the opamps as 1MHz/250 ~ 4000Hz.

However, on simulation, I get the bandwidth as ~2KHz indicating a gain of 500. I don't get why. Yes the overall gain of first stage is 500, however, for the individual signals it should have been 250. Please tell me what I am missing here.
