Yes, I'd expect this to be the strongest opponent, and maybe very strong at
tournament time control.  On the other hand Fritz isn't a bad Positional player
as Hiarcs isn't a bad strategic player.  It is interesting that it switches back
& forth between engines.  I shall try this next time I'm playing fun games, it
will at least add more variability to the games.
