I've grown Dona a number of times and was always satisfied. If you want a pink slicer that's predictable and reliable, you won't go far wrong here. I don't think it's a particularly exciting or flavorful tomato if you compare it to some open pollinated varieties like Eva Purple Ball which is about the same size yet sweet and lucious. It was one of the earlier to mature but I won't be growing this one again as space is at a premium. Livingston's Magnus is what I'm replacing this with for 2006.
