Size is also an important consideration (at least to me.)

Not sure I want to comment about this one. There is way too much innuendo attached.
Mary, we can't cross tomato with tomatillo. The genetic distance is too far. We can cross with some wild tomato species with similar effects. You should grow an S. Peruvianum sometime and see what it is like to have a tomato with roots so tenacious that it is nearly impossible to pull them apart from a cell plug. As for improving sweetness, that too is highly viable now that we have access to high sugar genetics. It is a long term breeding objective that would take at least 10 years to achieve the desired result.
