Where Stockfish currently loses out to Houdini is in that it doesn't have such decisive results against some weaker engines.

Taking that into account, it will be interesting to see how Komodo 7, Stockfish 5 and Houdini 4 (or whatever the next versions are called when officially released) fare at the top of the various rating lists.
