Worth,
I really like the 1015 Y onion. I purchase and typically plant about 400 seedlings in January. This year, my supplier had sold all his 1015Y seedlings when I was ready to plant. He had a couple of cases of a new onion called Texas Legend and said growers report them to be superior to 1015Y. I bought and planted 200 seedlings. I found and planted the same amount of 1015 Y.

I found the Texas Legend produces larger bulbs, two weeks earlier than 1015Y. I stored some bulbs hanging in mesh bags back in late June. The remaining bag has thirty or forty medium sized bulbs in it and not even one onion has started to rot. I always lost a lot of 1015Y in storage. They are as sweet or sweeter than 1015 Y.

Don't switch over, but you might be interested in trying some Texas Legend seedlings side by side with the 1015Y onions.
