2011 tomato list- feedback wanted!

User

Here's my current list for 2011:

Cosmonaut Volkov

Pruden's Purple

Black Prince

Rose di Berne

Pineapple

KBX

Peacevine Cherry

Sungold F1

Last year I planted 12 plants, so I have room to add a couple more. Is there something you would suggest I should add? I do make sauce, but don't want to grow a purely paste variety.

Varieties grown in 2010 that I don't (yet) have on my 2011 list (last year I grew from transplants that I purchased, this year I am starting seeds) for reference:

1)Black Cherry - may still add this because it did very well for me, but a friend specifically wanted me to start red cherries- her kids won't eat the other colors

2) Moskovich - didn't do well for me, but it could have been the source- I only got 1 fruit

3) Kellogg's Breakfast - trying KBX instead

4) Red Brandywine - trying Pruden's Purple instead

5) Striped German - trying Pineapple instead

6) Cherokee Purple - I know I'm in the minority, but this one didn't appeal to me for fresh eating, ended up using for sauce

7) Japanese Purple Trifele - Some fruits tasted good, others did not ended up using for sauce

8) Paul Robeson - very good, trying Black Prince instead

9) Matt's Wild Cherry - very good, trying Peacevine instead

The other three I grew in 2010 were: Sungold, Jolly Elf F1 (yuck), Lunchbox F1? (very productive, but nothing special)
