Opinions on the # of outbound links from a page that links to you affecting SEO/link juice?

Is there any empirical evidence that more outbound links from a page causes less link juice to be given to each individual link? For example, if I was able to get a blogroll backlink on a high-PR homepage, would it be worth it if that page already had alot of outbound links?

    a link from a blogroll won't have the same "link juice" as a contextual link from an article or content page according to my research...primarily because blogroll links can be easy to get compared to contextual back links.

    as for 'empirical evidence" I haven't seen any proof except in the google SEO guide which states that pages should be limited to 100 outbound links, so I reckon as long as you get a backlink from a page with less than 100 outbound inks, that link will still carry value...

      I know that blogroll and contextual are entirely different, my question is just referring to the effect of the number of outbound links.

        You can have as many as you can stuff. But, 100 is a good number tossed around
        by google to keep the user experience better. No penalty.

        Theoretically, if a PR8 website had 100 links on it, each link would get
        1/100th of the PR8 passed to it. Google does value contextual links, but
        I think this more relates to giving your link relevancy, not PR. The
        more relative links, the better in the long run.
