Default F2 growout of 3C3

I really liked 3C3 last year (it being my favorite tomato of the year). The only thing is for a striped tomato, it wasn't very striped!

I'm growing out 5 plants (f2s) of 3C3. I'm looking for GWR, with great flavor, and more stripes! The 5th plant 'broke' just before planting, so I took time to reroot it and it's just flowering now. I don't have any ripe fruit yet, but should soon.

Plant 1: I think this looks closed in shape to the original hybrid, I think it'll have more stripes.

Plant 2: More stripes than anything I've seen. Can't wait to see it ripe. More rounded/heart shaped than F1.

Plant 3: I don't think this has any stripes!?! I'll have to see if this is an accidental cross or just a GWR and no stripes

Plant 4: I haven't found this plant 'exciting'. Less growth than the others, less production. Some striping
