Isis Candy was also a bust for me, two years ago. Starfire Isis did somewhat better. But I still like Sunrise Bumble Bee better than both of them.
As far as "really sweet" goes, all of the Ambrosia cherries have been sweet for me. I've tried pink, red, orange, and blue. The bugs got my gold, I think. Unfortunately from a market gardener perspective, the fruit all are on the small side. Ambrosia Blue, which has orange flesh, was the exception. It was closer to saladette size.
Fruit size is important to me, but it also varies a lot from year to year, I am finding. Some of my favorite varieties fluctuate between saladette and cherry, depending upon weather and conditions.
