To me it's what a variety tastes like that takes priority.
I tried to find a picture for it on line, Tania doesn't list it or the other ones I'm going to mention.
My seed producer in IA does SSE list it and says large red ruffled fruits up to about 2 # ,my words now, excellent taste,with which I will agree.
I got several varieties from Iva in Solvenia and all have been out standing ones for me,ones in addition to Istra would include
Primorski Pagug
Domac Doljenski
And Giroc,not from Iva and Trska Gora,not from Iva.
And Tania lists none of the ones above or I'm having a short term memory lapse.
Ididn't check the Photo Forum here to see if anyone did post pictures,perhaps Kath,I don't know. And I didn't check my Fall feed back threads either,since some will post pictures.
But Istra is RL,indet, ripened for me in my zone 5 in late midseason,that is,before about 80 days.
Just looking at my data book and I think the above were maybe grown out for seed production summer of 2014 for my 2015 seed offer which never happened, so no one has seen my varieties produced either last summer or the summer before.
Grow it! You'll like it very much.
