Gambit Fruit 4bx is quite strong according to my tests so far, and if the
updates are that frequent you should treat it as Crafty. Meaning wait a while
between versions if you suspect there have been significant changes.

On the other hand, a number of people have Rybka Beta and others the Preview,
and by testing it now, one culd then measure the difference with the fixed and
improved version in January, which would be interesting.

I'm not much help am I? :-)

Go for Rybka if you ask me.
