Sweet 100's vs sweet million

Sweet million is supposed to be an improvement over sweet 100s. What is this improvement and many nurseries are still selling the sweet 100's

FWIW, I've found Super Sweet 100 so much better than Sweet 100 that if I can only get the latter, I don't bother. As has been said frequently, taste varies from person to person, so YMMV, but I don't think Super Sweet 100 is particularly sweet, just "old fashioned tomato tasting" -- when it ripens in warm weather, which it often does here -- an accomplishment not matched by too many varieties.

Normally produces lots of tomatoes, too.
