Default Red Rocket

I am still learning about determinate varieties, and still looking for nice red, round, and blemish free and crack resistance tomato. I saw "Red Rocket" in an online catalogue and in the picture the tomatoes look fairly small, but the description says they are in the 8-10 ounce range.

Paraphrased, it goes on to say: "This compact, bushy plant loads up with bright red tomatoes that ripen early in the season. Fruit is in the 8 to 10 oz. range and smooth with absolutely no blemishes. Determinate. 60 days to maturity." (I assume it is also crack resistant.)

I'm south of Memphis and am curious to see who in a hot, muggy climate has tried Red Rocket and how did they like them. Obviously I'm interested in taste, but also productivity and one that fits the round red, blemish and crack free characteristics, that has good eye appeal at a farmer's market. I'm interested to try some myself, and also am considering a few as market tomatoes.

Thanks in advance for any input.
Don
