I differentiate even between those two sizes. To me something like stupice and Juan flamme are saladettes golf ball size or bigger and large
cherries to me are either simply large cherries or cocktail size, up to maybe ping pong ball.
Two bite vs four perhaps

not that it matters so much I suppose, I like big cherries because they are meaty and easy pick and can taste more like a full size tomato. The KARMAs for example and this makes them different from many other cherries.
Some people really like small cherries with lots of seeds and gel and little flesh. There’s a tomato for everyone.
I think for myself I classify for round tomatoes.
Currant- cherry- large cherry/ cocktail- saladette- beefsteak S-M-L.
There may be a formal formula based on weight or diameter but I think visual size works for a gardener like myself.
