Tried them the past 2- yrs….beautiful large and uniform tomatoes, good foliage that appears to be disease resistant…. But lacking in flavor….

When you say “heat set” do you mean heat tolerant or is that something different? I didn’t find anything in particular about “heat set” on Google.
Growing determinate tomatoes is the way to go. It's easy to manage compare to indeterminate and heirloom tomato plants. If a gardener only uses commercial fertilizer, the tomato taste diminishes greatly, and so I avoid feeding my tomatoes this stuff. Plus, the ripe tomato color is a little off too. An experienced gardener knows that tomato plants are heavy feeders, and demand rich organic composite soil with worms, fungus, creepy crawlers, etc. I utilized composite soil, composite manure, and "Dynomyco" mycorrhizal Inoculant. I avoid using any soil bought in a bag because it will diminish the rich home-grown tomato taste. Remember that you are growing tomatoes for its rich home-grown taste; otherwise, buy your tomatoes at stores or stands. Taste is king! I started compositing my deep red clay soil years ago with kitchen scraps, manure, dead plants, and some of the road kills my dogs brought home (lol). From time to time, I even used fish guts from farmers. I like red clay soil because it helps add to the rich distinct taste of Georgia grown tomatoes. My procedure for planting seedlings: I dig semi-circles ditches six inches radius around my seedling; I drop the composite manure into the semi-circles ditches and cover up. By doing this, I never have to feed my seedlings again. I plant my seedlings in early April. Once the outside temp hovers around 70-85 degrees, my tomato plants grow aggressively fast, big, and beautiful. My preferred tomato seeds are the Hoss Tomatoes (Bella Rosa & Celebrity). They are delicious, and they will have that home-grown rich tomato smell too. I have many friends demanding my annual tomato harvest because of the taste. They ripe into a nice deep red too. Plus, I usually harvest up to 15 tomatoes per plant. What I really like about these determinate tomatoes is that I can plant them, secure a cage around them, and forget until harvest time. No strings, trellis, etc. Thank you Hoss Tools!
