There is a big advantage to grafting - if you have soilborne disease. A smaller advantage to it in terms of vigor if you don't.
Twice as many tomatoes from a grafted plant? Nope.....
It is worth a few dollars per plant markup if you are only growing a few plants.
You can buy 100 commercial rootstock seed for 30 bucks and if you are doing it right, get 2 or 3 grafted plants out of each. Or use a disease resistant heirloom or hybrid for rootstock.
Grafting is fun to do, and it is really very easy.
