What are the most overrated varieties?

Just a bit of an opinion on Brad's tomatoes from a region that had a good year. The Pink Berkley Tye Dye was a great producer with decent tasting fruit, but I really couldn't tell the difference from BTD which I grew last year. Will probably have to grow both together for a better comparison. The best were Brad's Black Heart and Pork Chop for taste. But the production was low, perhaps to due to some issues with fertilization. The taste of Pork Chop was fantastic for a yellow, better than Tom's Yellow Wonder in my opinion. Brown and Black Boar was late but again decent fruit with nice taste.

For me this year's big dissapointment was Purple Haze F3. Variability in taste and nowhere near the taste of Black Plum or Black Cherry. From past grows Eva Purple Ball was never a great producer or one that tasted great. Middle of the road average tasting tomato for me.

Please take this with a grain of salt since taste is a product of so many variables that effort to establish a consensus would be difficult.
