Awesome feature Michael , PTS console output is very clear/pretty, well organized and colored (y)

About the result selection, a tie and a clear winner against local results seems fine

Thanks. Regarding result selection, it's not trivial to get a "tie and clear winner", at least in terms of the OpenBenchmarking query. Since the system infromation and result aren't transmitted to OpenBenchmarking without permission of the user (for privacy purposes and many enterprise users), can't query approximate results based upon there.... When finding the best result to return from OpenBenchmarking.org, some processing could be done client-side to trim down the results in trying to just show close matches and winner, but just ends up being extra resources spent when not necessarily having good matches in that obtained 'blind' data-set to show.
