Tomatoberry is a very productive plant, with larger than normal fruit, strawberry shaped. Good strong taste, very thin skin (like, really), no splitting, beautiful color, shape and shiny too.
It is a non-sweet tomato (it does have some sweetness but it's definitely less than most hybrid cherry/grapes I tried). Quite meaty unfortunately, more of a grape tomato. First fruits oddly have a different taste than later, and not very good.
Plant is tall, good grower, not quite as vigurous as sungold but has larger leaves, very long and horizontal, so the plant takes some space. 25-40 fruits per truss (up to about 1 oz each).

Suncherry premium is neat plant, very compact, short internodes, also productive but not quite as vigurous. Doesn't split much, slightly flattened cherrys, very shiny. 30-50 fruits per truss, sungold size. The taste I thought was fabulous in the beginning of the season, with classic strong tomato taste, but quickly it got overpowered by sweetness later, I didn't like them much in the autumn.

I have not grown Sungreen but I've heard is quite prone to splitting.

Sungrape is a great grape tomato, with small fuit (smaller than normal,), great strong taste with plenty of acidity. For me it was a poor producer however, on ridiculously tall, vining plants.

Pics: first is Tomatoberry, second Suncherry premium.
