Default Perfect Brandywines?

I have been growing Pink Brandywines for a few years now, and I have always found them to be inconsistent in productivity and fruit sizes and shapes. Usually, I experience fused blossoms, some megablooms, and fruit that is pretty oblate, or boat-shaped.

This year, I am experiencing something different. I bought Brandywine (Sudduth) seeds from Baker Creek. The plant looks vigorous and typical of the strain. But the tomatoes are perfect! Not one fused blossom, and the % fruit set is also very high. Moreover, each fruit has a nipple on the blossom end. I have a few Early Girl tomatoes with the same feature.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same- I will say that the upper few tiers of fruit were set in +95F temperatures. But all of the fruit have this feature.

Thanks!
