That sounds impressive for growth, but are you also seeing differences in flower production and fruiting? I have heard of cases outside of tomatoes where the the hybrid was very vigorous, but not particularly fruitful (the Jostaberry is the one that comes to my mind [if you're not familiar it's a hybrid of black currant and gooseberry, compared to gooseberry it's a monster of a plant, but not very fruitfull])
