That probably depends on what kind of measuring stick you're using. Shredder
proved it's strength by winning the WCCC. I'd call that a pretty tough test.
You're the first person I've noticed saying that they had Shreader. Just seeing
the screen shots of it made it look like a very good interface for Shreader.

I doubt if any freeware is in it's ballpark as far as strength.
