I only have Hawaii-grown fruit to compare, but the rajapuri I've had are good, not great, and the Orinoco I'd say are worse. flavor of rajapuri is good to my taste, sort of like a DB, but with a chewy, weird texture like a namwah, but off-putting to me, while I like the similar texture in the namwah. Orinoco has a fluffy texture to me and a somewhat bland taste. They are however, big fruit and impressive, and supposed to be very good cooked. Assuming SDC tastes like DC, it's much like a grocery store cavendish. If you like those, I'm sure you'll like home-grown cavendish.

All are certainly good enough to grow at home and be enjoyable and even with the bananas I like less, I still like having variety.
