CM6000, MChessPro7 I think are just as good as the rest, and since I am a CM6K fan, and from the games posted on here so far, I think it is more than strong enough for this type of tournament. And I think would be one of the strongest US programs. And if you are playing all games manually then I cannot see how you could leave it out. But you will get for and against for the programs you choose. But I would think you would want to include it, because from all the games and speculation so far it is up there with the best. If not the best.
