Tim, I grew Ramapo and Moreton last year in my garden for the first time. I liked Ramapo a lot but it was susceptible to Fusarium wilt and was moderately productive. It has a strange to me growth habit making it hard to prune. The foliage was very heavy and bushy. The nice shaped red tomatoes were from 7 to 13 ounces and very good.
Moreton was far more productive with a more open growth habit. The tomatoes off my plant were between 4 and 7 ounces. I found the taste slightly above average but no better than Big Beef to me. The Moreton showed a little more disease tolerance for me than Ramapo so that may account for the greater production.
I will probably grow Ramapo again next year.
