I doubt they fear it. At the 1700 level for live standard, your opponents probably don't know the variations out any farther than you do.
Look at this position from your latest game. 9..a6 is pretty unusual. Bd7, Qa5 and even Nxe4 (!) are more popular (using the Game Explorer database.)
On the other hand, white's decision to take your knight on c6 and then play 11 Rb1 was a novelty of unclear purpose, so white was clearly out of book too.
I looked through your archive a bit and I didn't see any recent games against players rated more than 100 points higher than you. You should try a few and see what happens.
