Which would be more productive for making pasta sauce: Danko or Sarnowski Polish Plum?

Danko is a red heart and yes, semi-det. I got my seeds from a friend of a friend who was in the CIS and bought back 12 packs of seeds ofdifferent varieties. Tania and Andrey also list it in the SSE YEarbook as I do and I sent it to the several seed sites where I usually send seeds for trial where I know the owners and have for quite a while.
Yes, it can and does set fruits up to frost, atleastfor me where I live.
I have no idea how tall the plants get b'c I sprawl all of my tomato plants.
Which would be more productive between Danko, and Sarnowski Polish Plum, another variety I introduced? Production-wise Sarnoski, taste wise, Danko.
So make a sauce with some of each and you've got a winner.
Here's Tania's page for Danko:

THe picture shown on that page does not accurately depict Danko, IMO. It's not a heart with an acute tip, rather, more of a blunt tip such as Wes.
I'm pretty sure I'll be again offering Danko seeds here in my seed offer, but not Sarnowski Polish Plum b'c I have been offering them here but now I think they're too old to distribute seeds for them.

Above is Tania's Sarnowski page.
As for seed sources, Tania tries to keep up but with thousands of varieties featured it's almost impossible to do. For instance, I see Victory seeds listed for Danko, but just went there and don't see it, although it was there. Probably not good seed production is the reason.
