OK. My curiousity got the best of me. I tried a taste test between Brandywine Sudduth, Cowlick's Brandywine and Stump of the World. I blindfolded my self and had my daughter serve me the tomatoes. I did it twice. Both times I had #1 BWS, #2 Cowlicks, #3 Stump. I think I like BWS the best because it has the combination of sweet and tart whereas the others are more tart and less sweet. They are all pretty close, though. In terms of productivity, #1 Stump, #2 BWS, #3 Cowlicks. Cowlicks is in the worst spot in the garden in terms of sunlight. I plan to grow them side by side next year and try it again with all 3 in the same relative spots in the garden.

Did not get a chance to get Sudduth out this year. However last year I did plant cowlicks and the pink everyone and their brother seems to sell. I I can honestly say Cowlicks won out. A few more tomatoes on average with Cowlicks than the Pink. This year though Cowlicks goes up against some other pink PL maters.Earl's Faux and Stump of the World along with Mariana's Peace. Should be interesting to see which ends up on top.
