I'm not totally sold on the 'shock factor' deal. After all, these are only tomatoes we are talking about. I do know how some people cannot wrap their brains around a tomato that isn't red, many others are more open minded and when they get introduced to the world of heirloom tomatoes they never, ever go back to boring round red hybrids.

So it really depends on how open minded the person is.

Chicago is in my zone and if I get to throw a few into the ring that grow good here it would be:

Sioux (round and red, but oh the taste!)

Earls Faux (good production and fantastic flavor)

Brandywine Yellow (Platfoot) - really kicks out a lot of tomatoes and the flavor is knock your socks off!

Cherokee Purple - for reasons listed by others.

And not on your list,....but it was super early, very productive and downright great-tasting...Marlowe Charleston.
