I switched to this variety from my original white cherry (Snowberry) due to splitting issues. This tomato does quite a bit better than Snowberry when it comes to splitting. I do not think production and disease resistance are quite as good, but I harvest more tomatoes due to there not being near as much splitting. Flavor is very good and my customers do like them quite a bit.

If I were a better gardener, I think this plant would have done much better. I over-fertilized my tomato bed this year, and the light colored tomatoes really showed the most damage from it. Plus, the weather was strange this year, and it affected my production. What few fruits I was able to get (due to weather and incompetence) were delicious. Almost no tartness, and a subtle fruity quality to the sweetness. I'll try this one again next year.
