There are other long shaped ones of different colors, such as Bannana, etc., but I haven't seen BER on those but probably just statistical since I haven't grown that many.

Carolyn, I've read a lot of positive reviews/posts about Opalka. I'm just curious why Opalka might be an exception - and not get BER?

If my wife's tastes change and she decides she likes cooked tomatoes, I want to grow a very good one that doesn't get BER.

My luck with hearts has not been that great here in Texas, but that could do with the varieties I grew, and it was a very rainy year.
