Attempting to try the mFactor calculations I've seen on bnots diary (blaming you here bnot...)

Home tomato on 2.88kg Glazebrook: DAP 38. 21.5 x 18 x 21.5 = 8320
Farm tomato on 2.88kg Glazebrook: DAP 26. 22.5 x 20 x 18 = 8100

Measuring one of my regular beefsteak (Green Cherokee - no special treatment) = mFactor of 0.00057. bnots mFactor = 0.00045. So somewhere between those likely?

Home tomato @ 0.00057 = 4.7 ; @ 0.00045 = 3.7. Vs CC = 3.75
Farm tomato @ 0.00057 = 4.6; @0.00045 = 3.6. Vs CC = 4.25

Well, there you go. Here's to the first season growing giant tomato regardless. Given DAP it looks like the home tomato is on last run, whilst the farm tom has some time to overtake it.
