Yes I agree.  Rybka seems to assess pawn pushes far more accurately than
anything out there.  It uses this weapon lethaly as it seems all other engines
have no defense to that (not yet anyway).  I would bet that Rybka would have a
very good chance against Hydra, since even with the much superior hardware,
Hydra will also not react properly to advancing pawns.  But Rybka is also strong
in many other aspects with very few weaknesses.  With additional endgame
knowledge coming and EGTB's and a tuned book, I think it will be EXTEMELY
difficult for it to lose.
