I agree, I happen to love Nimzo 7.32, and soon Nimzo 8 if it is stronger. I like
it's playing style over the other Chessbase products, and I like the default
book that comes with it. It is well suited for it's playing style, and has a
nice wide second part.

I also prefer Hiarcs over Fritz.... so really like Pete said, it is a matter of
preference.
