I haven't tried SH-3640, so I can't comment on that one.
Mark have you ever tasted a "Dwarf Brazilian" Prata Ana and if so how did it compare to the "Brazilian" Prata?

I have several friends growing the Prata, Prata Ana, Pacovan and many of the other hybrids produced by the Brazilian banana breeding program Embrapa and it might be interesting to see how your taste comparison compares with theirs.
