Which highlights one of the problems we have saving seed. One undetected cross can turn a good tomato into something else, perhaps better, perhaps much worse. I'm growing two crosses this year. One of Omar's Lebanese that is potato leaf and was delicious last year, another of Lucky Cross X Silvery Fir Tree. The carrot leaf phenotype is dominant. I should have ripe fruit on both in a day or two.
Estlers is a good flavored very large tomato that tends to have a large core and is susceptible to foliage diseases. It should be grown by a lot more people to ensure it stays around.
