Darrel,
A great, ambitious project! I'm particularly interested in your approach toward developing the flavor (especially sweet) and texture (not mealy) in tomatoes ripened under cool/cold temperature. My winter greenhouse (unheated) has night temps averaging 40-45 F. I have no problem getting good fruit set on most OP varieties, but have yet eaten a winter vine-ripened tomato with flavor and texture noticeably better than supermarket standards.
Good luck!
Steve
