It's true though, you don't really see Page diving into the jazz idiom at all. It just didn't fit into his style.
I also don't see page mixing classical in his playing as much as iommi did, even if its presence wasn't all that strong. There are some acoustic examples of iommis classically styled work. He even worked it into his electric playing a little. He's more diverse than he seems sometimes.

And ya, he certainly isn't Django.
