Subject: Hiarcs7's update(is it good for correspondence games)?

I am going to play the 3/4 final with a computer and I want to know which
program is best to use.
Buying Hiarcs7 is one of the options.

I found in Hiarcs7's homepage that they are going to do a better version for
correspondence games  so I want to know if it is a good idea to use this version
for correspondence game
I understood that it is weaker at tournament games but the question is if it
improves with time relative to the originial Hiarcs(If it is weaker by 50 ELO in
tournament time control and weaker by 200 ELO at blitz then I can hope that it
will be better at correspondence time control).



Here are the news from Hiarcs7's homepage:

Deep search: A special deep search selectivity option will be available
specifically for
correspondence chess and overnight analysis. Search Selectivity 6 and 7 are
introduced with
this version.

WARNING: Testing indicates the deep search selectivities of 6 and 7 are 50+ Elo
weaker at
tournament chess and faster time controls. However, overnight analysis appears
to be
improved, hence this feature is aimed at correspondence chess and overnight
analysis of
difficult positions requiring a deeper more selective search.
