You can also check this test:

http://home.bip.net/gunnar.blomstrand/topplista_64.htm

This test is from the book "Spiel mit - gegen Grossmeister" by Emil Gelenczei.
64 games which all are judged. 1047 positions in 8 categories were every group
gets 400 points. The idea is to see which program is best in analysing human
games. The time is 40/2 3 min/move. The computer is a Celeron 450 with 128 cache
and 64 MB.

 Program 	 	Rating 	Points
01 Gandalf 4.32f   	2617 	2120
02 Fritz 5.0 	   	2591 	2099
03 Gambit Tiger 1	2590 	2098
04 Fritz 6.0 	   	2585 	2094
05 Junior 5.0 	   	2571 	2083
06 Rebel 10 	   	2561 	2075
07 Nimzo 2000 	   	2560 	2074
08 Chess Tiger 13  	2540 	2058
09 Zarkov 5.0 	     	2536 	2055
10 Genius 6.5 	   	2529 	2049

As you can see, the Rebel/Tiger programs is on both lists.
