I was thinking across slightly different lines.
Basically, you can't use the full IncuTainer to grow Tomatoes in the winter since there isn't enough room for the plants to grow.
I'm thinking that you will be more limited as far as how early you can plant your tomatoes by not wanting to remove the greenhouse tops before the threat of a hard frost is gone than by worries that the warmed base and greenhouse effect won't keep the air chamber warm enough. Especially if you cover up the whole thing with a tarp on any particularly cold night. I could be wrong though.
As for the quality of tomatoes, I remember watching a video of a Michigan farmer who grew in hoophouses and also used cold frames inside them to get early heirloom tomatoes to sell at a good price. He claimed that the early tomatoes were fine (I guess the sunlight was increased by the time the plants were pumping energy into fruits) but that the tomatoes he got late in the season suffered due to the lack of sun.
