Glad to know about this thread; thanks for tagging me.
Yes, the Dwarf Tomato Project originated from New Big Dwarf. That was the basis for the varieties that came from that project. If you haven't seen it before, I highly recommend you read our page on the project here:

Scroll down below the products and you will see a very long article that tells all about the history of the project, along with the details on how each variety was bred. It is really interesting stuff.
As for the heights, they are very much influenced by where they are grown. A small container will result in a much smaller plant, while a field grown plant can get to a pretty good size. This same thing is true of the micro tomatoes. I grow some in 4" pots and they bloom and fruit at just a few inches tall, while others in 5 gallon grow bags get 18 inches tall with bigger fruit and bigger leaves.
