My logical conclusion would be that since CM's book runs out so early, this may be to it's advantage as far as comp/comp chess is concerned. I've always thought that book knowledge is overrated as a factor in determining playing strength in human/human games. The stronger player will out-see the weaker one in the mid game, so that the weaker player's better 'book' was all for nothing. This applies to computers too. CM6 is currently the best. Of course, all else being equal, book knowledge comes in handy.
