So, I harvested the second ripe fruit of Jetsetter F1 first, took some pictures and ate it.
The odd coloring (which isn't on the first ripe and larger fruit) is probably alternaria or some such trying to infect the fruit. There are scars more typical of the fungus on the very bottom of the fruit. Anyway, my hypothesis is that tomatoes can ripen less quickly where the fungi attack most in an effort to keep it at bay, since unripe fruit has less issues with fungi.
So, it tasted a lot like Ultra Sweet F1, except not ultra sweet; also, it was somewhat milder.
Here are some pictures (they're all three of the same tomato).
