Default Could This Be Sun Gold OP

I've been growing out a volunteer that came up in my garden in 2010. It has always been a "so so" tasting cherry size that had the colors, but not that finishing sweetness we all love. This year, my volunteer seeds came up with a much larger fruit and I'm not sure why, but this time the taste is at least as good as the Sungold F1 grown from commercial seeds.

My main point here is that the taste is in this one. It has me both excited and hoping that the next growout will be just as good tasting. Also, it is larger than the original Sungold F1. Pictured below are the volunteer followed by two of the Sungold F1 fruits (including the largest one I could find of the Sungold F1). Then, there is the Volunteer with the largest Sungold F1 and a plastic ruler. The last picture is of a one gallon ice cream bucket with both in it.

People have been trying for years to create an OP version of Sungold F1. I've been chewing on this "situation" for a couple of weeks now. I want this to be the real deal, but I also want to proceed with caution (The proof is in the pudding).

I'd like to hear your thoughts, opinions, and suggestions.
