That said, heirlooms do have all kinds of crazy flavors and differences.

Yeah, I'd bet that some of them don't last as long as the standard red tomatoes that you get in the store, but looking through heirloom tomatoes is kind of a trip, from a visual standpoint. Grocery stores seem to have pretty much standardized on about three red ones -- and I'm not saying that they're bad, but it does kind of mean that people don't get to see a lot of variety. Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of just eating tomatoes plain, so never got super-interested in obtaining them, but they do look damned cool.
