What do you all think of the Momentado tomato?

The descriptions of it make it sound like the supposedly archetypal red cherry tomato, which is to say, it's actually a very rare kind of tomato, and not the dime a dozen some people might think (I know because I've been searching for one with its exact trait-set for a long time; if I were looking for an F1 hybrid, a small cherry, a midseason cherry, or a determinate, it would be easier).

It's red, indeterminate, early, round, a large cherry, open-pollinated, regular-leaf, and said to be prolific. It ranked #9 in MAGTAG 2008 (grown by Mary, AKA Manure Queen). Sand Hill Preservation Center sells it. I read a rumor that there are MAGTAG 2008 pictures on Tomatoville.

Anyway, that's pretty much all I know about it.
