It is hard to say just because I don't know if what Baker Creek sold was really white currant or if it was mislabeled coyote. I am growing coyote for the first time this year, and have grown white/yellow currant for the last four years. Going from what I know of the currant tomatoes I grow and comparing to photos and info on tatiana's website for coyote, I would say that coyote is a cherry tomato, and therefore bigger fruited than currant tomato, with a bushier habit. My currants grow like crazy all over the place, are definitely not bushy, and it would probably take three of them to equal the size of one coyote. Mine tend to be only about a 1/4 inch across and photos of coyote that I see show it to be about 3/4 of an inch though some descriptions have it at half an inch. I'm sure others who have already grown coyote can say more, and will maybe know what baker creek was selling.
Hope I helped a little bit.
